Abstract

The genus Chaetocarpus contains 10 or 11 species and is found pantropically. In SE Asia only one species is found, C. castanocarpus (Roxb.) Thwaites. Typical for C. castanocarpus are the clusters of axillary flowers, the absence of petals, the stamens united into an androphore, the fruits with glochidiate hairs, and the arillate seeds. This species is widespread and is found in Ceylon and India and in SE Asia (Burma, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Sumatra and Borneo).
