Calophyllum lankaensis

Distribution

This plant is characterized by a very restricted and specific geographical range. It is found exclusively within the Indian Subcontinent, specifically localized to the island nation of Sri Lanka. Due to this limited habitat, it is considered an endemic species to the region. The plant's survival is closely tied to the unique ecological conditions found in its native Sri Lankan environment. Consequently, its distribution is defined by this singular, localized presence rather than a broad global spread.
