<i>Willughbeia</i> Genus of plants

Willughbeia is a genus of plant in the family Apocynaceae,first described as a genus in 1820. It is native to Southeast Asia with a few species in the Indian Subcontinent. Several species have edible fruits enjoyed in many countries. Many species are vines with sticky latex.

Willughbeia sarawacensis, commonly known as kubal or kubal madu (Malaysia) and tabo (Philippines), is a large tropical vine-bearing plant with edible fruit native to Borneo and to the nearby Island of Palawan in the Philippines. The fruit is the shape, size, and color of a grapefruit with a thin melon-like rind and have a concentrated sweet taste comparable to mango, soursop, and pineapple combined. At the government experiment station near Kuching, Sarawak they are grown on elevated platforms and said to start producing in less than two years. Currently there are 4 related species known in Borneo: Kubal asam or kubal taya, kubal tusu or kubal madu, kubal arang, and another much bigger cousin tabau . All four are round shape except kubal tusu, which is pear shape.
