Streblus elongatus, sometimes referred to as Artocarpus elongatus, is a type of tree. The plant produces white latex wherever it is cut. It has been referred to as Sloetia elongata in the past. It is commonly known as "tempinis" in Malay and are used as place names in Southeast Asia. In Singapore, Sungei Tampines river and Tampines Town are named after it. In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the streets of a neighbourhood in Bangsar suburb are named, for example, Jalan Tempinis, Jalan Tempinis Kanan/Kiri and Lorong Tempinis Kiri 5.

05DNA & barcoding2 eDNA hits
A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Sloetia elongata has left across the world's sequence archives.

07Deep time~0 Ma lineage
How far back this lineage goes — and how we know. Everything here is measured in Ma, short for “mega-annum”: millions of years ago. The chart reads left to right like a calendar of the Earth, from the deep past on the left to today at the right edgetop to bottom like a core drilled through the Earth, from the deep past at the top down to today at the bottom.

When this lineage existed
How to read this: the coloured strip along the bottomdown the left is the geological calendar — the standard epochs (Pliocene, Pleistocene…) every museum uses, shown so you can see which chapter of Earth's history this lineage lived in. This lineage is a young one, so the strip is zoomed in to epochs — the finer subdivisions inside a period. The orange marker is the DNA clock: DNA accumulates mutations at a roughly steady rate, so comparing this species' DNA with its relatives estimates when the lineage split off — independently of any fossil.

09Environmental DNA2 detections
Where the DNA of Sloetia elongata was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
