It is the only genus in the tribe Scyphiphoreae. The genus contains only one species, viz. Scyphiphora hydrophyllacea, which has a large distribution range from Madagascar, to tropical Asia and the western Pacific.[1] It is a shrub of about {{Convert|3|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} and is often found in mangrove forests or sandy beaches. Its local common names include chengam in Malaysia, ngam in Thailand, nilad or sagasa in the Philippines, and côi in Vietnam.[2] DescriptionIts leaves are opposite. The leaf blades are broad and drop-shaped. Its terminal buds and young leaves are coated with a varnish-like substance. The flowers are tubular and have four white lobes that are tinged pink. They are arranged in dense clusters. The fruits are elliptic and deeply ridged, becoming light brown and buoyant when ripe. UsesIts dark brown wood can be used to craft small objects. Leaf extracts are known to be helpful for stomach aches.[3] The flowers can be used as a cleansing or whitening laundry agent.{{Citation needed|date=November 2010}} Culture{{Main|Manila#Etymology}}One popular — but antiquated and less linguistically plausible — etymology for Manila, the capital city of the Philippines, asserts that the city's name derives from this shrub, locally known as nilad. However, from a linguistic perspective it would have been unlikely for native Tagalog speakers to completely drop the final consonant /d/ in nilad to achieve the present native form of the name ("Maynilà").[4] ChemistryThe plant contains friedelin, syringic acid, isoscopoletin, fraxetol, casuarinondiol and guaiacylglycerol-beta-ferulic acid ether.[5] References1. ^{{cite web |title=Search results for Scyphiphora|work=The Plant List |url=http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/search?q=Scyphiphora |accessdate=1 March 2016 }} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Scyphiphora hydrophyllacea |url=http://www.globinmed.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=104677:scyphiphora-hydrophyllacea-1&catid=199&Itemid=139 |accessdate=20 August 2018 }} 3. ^{{Cite web | url=http://mangrove.nus.edu.sg/guidebooks/text/1072.htm | title=Mangrove flora: Chengam (scyphiphora hydrophyllacea)}} 4. ^{{citejournal| last=Baumgartner |first=Joseph |date=March 1975 |accessdate=20 August 2018 |title=Manila — Maynilad or Maynila? |journal=Philippine Quarterly of Culture and Society |volume=3 |issue=1 |page=52-54 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/29791188}} 5. ^Studies on the chemical constituents of Scyphiphora hydrophyllacea (II).
