Pittosporum resiniferum
The petroleum nut, Pittosporum resiniferum, is a tree that grows in the
Philippines, particularly in the wilderness surrounding the
Mayon Volcano. The petroleum nut derives its name from the resemblance of the fruit's odor to petroleum-based fuels. The fruits of the tree burn brightly when ignited and can be used for illumination as torches or candles. Its fruit is also highly suitable for use in producing
biofuel. This use has been encouraged by the Philippines Department of Agrarian Reform and the Philippine Coconut Authority.
