Canarium ovatum, the pili (Central Bikol and Filipino: pili, /ˈpiːliː/ PEE-lee;), is a species of tropical tree belonging to the genus Canarium. It is one of approximately 600 species in the family Burseraceae. C. ovatum are native to the Philippines.[4] They are commercially cultivated in the Philippines for their edible nuts and is believed to be indigenous to that country.[5] The fruit and tree are often vulgarized with the umbrella term of "Java almond" which mixes multiple species of the same genus, Canarium.
