Alangium havilandii

Alangium havilandii is a tree from the dogwood family (Cornaceae), native to Borneo, where it grows in lowland peat swamp forest and can reach about 25 m. It is a very large forest tree rarely grown in gardens, so care notes apply mainly to any cultivation in a wet tropical setting.
