BANUYO

Wallaceodendron celebicum, also known as Banuyo, is a native tree species.
A relatively large tree that can grow up to 45 meters tall. Its flowers are perfect and 5-merous, its corolla is tubular and likewise its calyx is a short tube borne on terminal racemes. Banuyo can be found in primary and secondary forests. This is especially so near the seashore, but they can also be found inland up to 850 masl. The flowers have stamen in clusters of whitish tufts and the fruits are pods with oblong flattened seeds inside. The wood is used for high-grade interiors, cabinets, sculptures, carvings, and veneer stock. The seeds are recalcitrant, which means it needs to be sown immediately. The fallen mature fruit can be planted straight into potting media.
