Bruinsmia styracoides is a large forest tree of Malesia and New Guinea, reaching up to 45 m tall with a spreading crown. It is a wild forest species rather than a commonly grown garden or houseplant, so care advice is largely theoretical.
Bruinsmia styracoides is a large tree of tropical Asia in the family Styracaceae. The specific epithet styracoides refers to the tree's resemblance to Styrax officinalis.
Bruinsmia styracoides is native to Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Sulawesi, the Maluku Islands, the Philippines and New Guinea. Its habitat is forests at elevation of 450 to 2,000 m (1,500 to 6,600 ft).
