Cephalotaxus lanitii Blanco

A medium-sized to fairly large tree up to 35 m tall, bole columnar, up to 50 cm in diameter, bark surface deeply fissured, branchlets glabrous to densely puberulent when young. Leaves narrowly ovate or ovate to oblong-ovate or elliptical, 5-15 cm x 2-7 cm, glabrous to densely puberulent above, with 8-15 pairs of secondary veins, petiole 0.4-0.8 cm long. Flowers white to yellow or pink or even dark red, corolla subrotate, the tube 5-7 mm long, the lobes 10-20 mm long, stamens inserted at the mouth of the tube; follicles coherent, fusiform, 15-30 cm long, finely striate and obscurely to conspicuously lenticellate. W. pubescens is highly variable and has been subdivided into 5 subspecies, 3 of which are found in the Malesian area. Subsp. pubescens (synonyms : Wrightia calycina A.DC., Wrightia spanogheana Miq.), with calyx about as long as corolla tube, occurs from Java and Sulawesi eastward to northern Australia. Subsp. candollei (S. Vidal) Ngan (synonym : Wrightia candollei S. Vidal), with calyx about 2/3 as long as corolla tube, is endemic to the Philippines. Subsp. laniti (Blanco) Ngan (synonyms : Wrightia javanica A.DC., Wrightia laniti (Blanco) Merr., Wrightia tomentosa (Roxb.) Roem. & Schultes var. cochinchinensis Pierre ex Pitard), with calyx about 1/4 as long as corolla tube, occurs from mainland South-East Asia to Sumatra, Java and the Philippines.

W. pubescens is quite common in evergreen and deciduous forest, thickets, and savanna, on periodically or permanently dry locations

Reclamation: In the Philippines, the trees are sometimes used for reforestation.

Food: The bark is commonly used in Indonesia as a coagulant for the manufacture of ""litsusu"", a traditional cheese-like product. Medicine: The latex has been used against severe dysentery. Timber: W. pubescens is the main source of lanete; the wood is used for e.g. general construction, pencils, musical instruments, wayang figures and carving.
