Rambutan
Rambutan (; taxonomic name: ''Nephelium lappaceum'') is a medium-sized tropical tree in the family Sapindaceae. The name also refers to the edible fruit produced by this tree. The rambutan is native to Southeast Asia. It is closely related to several other edible tropical fruits including the lychee, longan, pulasan and guinep. Etymology The name "rambutan" is derived from the Malay word ''rambut'' meaning 'hair' referring to the numerous hairy protuberances of the fruits, together with the noun-building suffix ''-an''. Similarly, in Vietnam, they are called ''chôm chôm'' (meaning 'messy hair'). Origin and distribution The center of genetic diversity for rambutans is the Malaysian−Indonesian region. They have been widely cultivated in southeast Asia areas, such as Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Singapore, and the Philippines. It has spread from there to parts of Asia, Africa, Oceania and Central America. Around the 13th to 15th centuries, Arab trader ...

Blighia
''Blighia'' is a genus of four species of flowering plants in the soapberry family, Sapindaceae, native to tropical Africa from Guinea east to Kenya. The fruit is partly edible, with the Ackee (''B. sapida'') being grown commercially for fruit production. The genus is named for Captain William Bligh (formerly of ), who brought samples back to England. The species are evergreen trees growing to tall, with pinnate leaves. The flowers are produced in small panicles. The fruit is an oval capsule long containing three seeds, each surrounded by an edible fleshy yellow aril, and a thick, leathery orange or red skin; the fruit apart from the aril is very poisonous.

Atalaya (plant)
''Atalaya'' is a genus of eighteen species of trees and shrubs of the plant family Sapindaceae. fourteen species grow naturally in Australia and in neighbouring New Guinea only one endemic species is known to science. Three species are known growing naturally in southern Africa, including two species endemic to South Africa and one species in South Africa, Eswatini and Mozambique. One species ''A. salicifolia'', which grows in Australia, has a wider distribution through nearby Timor and westwards through some more of the Lesser Sunda Islands (Indonesia). This species has the widest distribution of all and is the type species—the first to have a formal scientific name, description and represent the genus. In biodiversity–rich New Guinea , many areas do not have complete formal scientific botanical survey. In this context, science seems to have only recorded the knowledge of ''A. papuana'' growing there naturally as the putative sole endemic species. Regionally widespre ...

His name is sometimes given in the Dutch language form Karel Lodewijk Blume, but the original German language, German spelling is the one most widely used in botanical texts: even then there is confusion, as he is sometimes referred to as K.L. Blume (from Karl). He carried out extensive studies of the flora (plants), flora of southern Asia, particularly in Java (island), Java, then a colony of the Netherlands. From 1823 to 1826 Blume was Deputy Director of Agriculture at the Bogor Botanical Gardens, botanic garden in Bogor (Buitenzorg) in Java. In 1827 he became correspondent of the Royal Nethe ...
