Sarcotheca macrophylla Blume or “Pengo” (Kalimantan/Dayak Kenyah) belongs to the family Oxalidaceae. The plant also known as Borneo endemic plant species. The study in distribution has been made based on the herbarium specimen observation at Herbarium Bogoriense and several expeditions in Kalimantan which include West, East, Central and South provinces of Kalimantan.

This plant occurred in West, Central and East of Kalimantanin a minor population and scattered in secondary forest, especially along the riverside. The fruit is edible with sour taste, indicated the high content of vitamin C, and eaten by primate such as orang utan, monkey and other mammals. The fruit also used as natural shampoo by locals.
