It lives in Southeast Asia. ==Animals== The moth ''[[Acrocercops terminaliae]]'' hatches out of its egg as a [[larva]]. It looks like a worm. When it is a larva, it lives on and eats ''T. myriocarpa''. ==Chemistry== People found chemicals called [[phenolic compounds]] in this tree's leaves. Their names are [[methyl (S)-flavogallonate]], [[gallic acid]], [[methyl gallate]], [[ethyl gallate]], [[2,3-di-O--(S)-4,5,6,4′,5′,6′-hexahydroxybiphenyl-2,2′-diyldicarbonyl-(α/β)-D-glucopyranose|2,3-di-O-[(S)-4,5,6,4′,5′,6′-hexahydroxybiphenyl-2,2′-diyldicarbonyl]-(α/β)-D-glucopyranose]], [[vitexin]], [[isovitexin]], [[orientin]], [[iso-orientin]], [[kaempferol 3-O-β-D-rutinoside]], [[rutin]], [[neosaponarin]], [[ellagic acid]], [[flavogallonic acid]], and (α/β)-[[punicalagin]].<ref>Pharmacologically Active Ellagitannins from Terminalia myriocarpa.
