My notes say that both Pondoh and S. affinis are "probably dioecious", but I have a note to myself to investigate better.    It also lists Bali salak and Gula Pasir as self fertile, but Sala Nameung as dioecious.

Hopefully someone can add more info and correct any errors if present.

Já, ég er að rækta suðrænar plöntur á Íslandi. Nei, ég er ekki klikkuð. Jæja, kannski...

Pondoh is from central Java (not the amboinensis form) so should be dioecious.  Basically, anything other than the amboinensis form of S. zalacca is supposed to be dioecious.

The only mono salaccas are Balis.
