Description


Anacolosa frutescens grows as a shrub or small tree up to 30 metres (100 ft) tall with a diameter of up to 30 centimetres (12 in). The greenish grey bark is smooth to mottled. The obovoid to oblong fruits are green, ripening to yellow or orange, and measure up to 1.2 cm (0.5 in) long. The wood is sometimes locally used for house posts.[5]


Distribution and habitat


Anacolosa frutescens is native to Southeast Asia, from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Myanmar through Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Its habitat is mixed dipterocarp forests, sometimes heath and peat swamp forests, occasionally submontane forests, from sea-level to 1,100 metres (3,600 ft) altitude.[5]


Uses


The fruit and seeds of galo (also known as aluloy) is eaten in the Philippines. The fruit is usually boiled before consumption and has a taste similar to avocado. The seeds have a flavor described as being similar to a mixture of sweet corn and chestnuts.[6][3]
