About

Artocarpus sericicarpus, the peluntan, pedalai, gumihan or terap bulu, is a tropical evergreen tree species of the family Moraceae. It is a member of the genus Artocarpus, which also includes jackfruit and breadfruit.

The tree is native to Borneo, the Philippines, the Maluku Islands and Sulawesi, and is most commonly found in humid tropics with a mild monsoon climate, occurring in tropical evergreen forests at 500–1,000 metres (1,600–3,300 ft) elevation. It is also occasionally found in steep, clayey hillsides of inland areas. The discovery date is not clear as it is listed as 1959 in one book and 1961 in the other.
