It is a fast-growing tree with a typical adult height of between 3 and 5 m. The leaves are regular and rounded and the flowers white and large, very characteristic. The fruits look like flat, long and thin green beans. The tree thrives under full exposure to sunshine and is extremely frost sensitive.

In Indonesia this plant call ' turi ' it is good to eat.
No problem. I'm just glad I caught it before it became out of hand and a lot of work moving your stuff around.
Sorry about that. I have already removed it from Philippine endemic species. Thanks for the help.
Thanks, it would be great if you could start by removing all your spottings which don't belong, like the desert rose, mangosteen, starfruit and anything unidentified.
I see, well, I always prefer to see spotting come up identified, if the spotter knows it. If it's native to India and SE Asia, it does not belong in the Philippine endemic mission.
Ok Dan, thanks for the suggestion. I'll try to get in touch with the mission creator for this matter.
Was just having a look at that mission. Although its a great idea, it's a very specific mission. I don't think any unidentified spottings belong in it and just by having a glance at the spottings, I already see numerous ones that don't belong. These have to be species found nowhere else but Philippines and I see many that not endemic to the Philippines. I know this isn't your mission Jolly but I wanted to make you aware of it. The creator needs to keep a strict eye on the mission if it is to be successful.
I know what it is. Just making your minds work. Its a native to India and southeast Asia.
Beautiful flowers but I'm not sure what it is. I see you added it to the Philippine endemic species mission. Great idea for a mission, but I'm wondering, if you don't know what this is, how do you know it's endemic to the Philippines?
