Triadica cochinchinensis
Triadica cochinchinensis is a species of flowering plant in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae. This tree is sometimes referred to by the common name mountain tallow tree.
The seeds (as well as from those of Triadica sebifera) are the sources of stillingia oil, a drying oil used in paints and varnishes. The fatty coat of the seeds is known as stillingia tallow, hence its common name.
