There are at least 100 species from over a dozen unrelated genera (a big chunk of the species are from the genus Palaquium) that have ekop as all or part of one or more of their common names and I have no idea which of them are represented on this page but they all appear to be native to Indonesia, India, Southeast Asia, the Philippines, and New Guinea.
my samples: NOTE: these pics were all taken in very bright incandescent lighting ("soft white" at 2700K) colors will vary under other lighting conditions

The labeled side has varnish or something on it. This is a very minor example of the kind of crap samples that David got from this particular vendor.
