Melanolepis multiglandulosa
Alim (Melanolepis multiglandulosa) is a tropical tree of the spurge family native to Southeast Asia, the Western Pacific and New Guinea. It is a forest tree rather than a garden or houseplant, so it is grown mainly in warm, humid tropical settings.
Melanolepsis multiglandulosa is a species of plant in the family Euphorbiaceae, first described in 1826. It is native to Japan (Ryukyu Islands), the Mariana Islands, the Solomon Islands, the Bismarck Archipelago, New Guinea, the Philippines, Indonesia (Maluku, Sulawesi, Lesser Sunda Islands, Java, Sumatra, Borneo), Thailand, Malaysia and Taiwan.
