Malay Archipelago to Polynesia, frequently only cultivated, and only so found 
in the Philippines. Palmas Island, mentioned above, is really not a part of the 
Philippine group politically, although formerly so considered; it is a small island 
to the south-east of Mindanao, and belongs to the Dutch, being ruled as a depen- 
dency of Celebes. 
Inocarpus edulis has been referred to Bocoa, the latter being the older generic 
name; De Dalla Torre & Harms, however, retain Inocarpus Forst., and Bocoa 
Aubl., as distinct genera.
