Calophyllum soulattri
Also called Bitangoor Boonot, Bintangor Bunut
In Singapore: Bintangor Bunut, Malang-Malang, Mintak (Grown in Singapore)
Calophyllum soulattri is a large tropical forest tree in the Calophyllaceae family, valued as a timber species across Southeast Asia and Melanesia. It is not a common garden or houseplant, so care depends on warm, humid, wet tropical conditions.
Calophyllum soulattri is a species of flowering plant in the Calophyllaceae family. It is native to southern Indochina (the Andaman Islands, Cambodia, Myanmar, the Nicobar Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam), Malesia (Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, Borneo, Sumatra, Java, the Lesser Sunda Islands, the Maluku Islands, and the Philippines), Papuasia (New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, and the Solomon Islands), the Northern Territory of Australia, and Palau. It is considered one of the best bintangor timber species.
