Artocarpus elasticus of the Mulberry Family (Moraceae) and commonly called terap nasi or terap,[2] is a rainforest tree of maritime and mainland Southeast Asia, growing up to 45 metres (150 ft) (occasionally as much as 214 feet (65 meters))[3] in height with a diameter at breast height of about 1 metre (3 ft). The juvenile trees are noteworthy for producing a rosette of enormous deeply lobed leaves similar in shape to those of the white oak (Quercus alba), but up to 2 metres (6 ft) long[4] by about 1.2 metres (4 ft) in width. The stipules are up to eight inches (twenty centimeters) long,[5] among the largest known. These leaves emerge from leaf buds as long as 18 centimetres (7 in).[6] The trees are dioecious (male and female flowers on separate trees).[7] It produces a fruit like a small breadfruit. The male capitulae produce clouds of pollen, and pollenisation is apparently by wind.
