Pterospermum javanicum Distribution

Bayur is thought to have spread widely from India, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia (Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan), and Papua New Guinea. The tree is harvested from the wild for its wood, where the tree has high commercial prospects because it is classified as a wood-producing plant with resistance class IV. Bayur wood is generally used as a material for making plywood, furniture, shipping, bridges, pulp and paper. Apart from that, bayur also has several traditional functions in Indonesia and Malaysia. For example, in Lombok, especially in areas inhabited by the Sasak tribe, the roots and stems are used as traditional medicine and ingredients for traditional drinks (Tuak Bayur). The Sasak tribe believes that this traditional drink can be used to treat diabetes. Excessive exploitation of bayur plants due to illegal logging and other uses, causes bayur populations in natural habitats to decrease and become threatened. So its existence becomes increasingly difficult.
