Campnosperma auriculatum
In Singapore: Terentang, Serentang, Terentang Daun Besar, Napan (Native to Singapore, Least Concern)
Campnosperma auriculatum, known as terentang, is a large rainforest tree of the cashew family from Southeast Asia and Malesia. It is grown mainly in wet tropical forest settings and is rarely cultivated as an ornamental.
Campnosperma auriculatum is a rainforest tree in the family Anacardiaceae native to the East Indies and Southeast Asia. The sapling tree has very large leaves up to 1.8 metres (6 feet) long by up to 37 centimetres (15 inches) wide with wavey margins. The leaves of mature trees are oblanceolate and about 75 centimetres (30 inches) long, forming a tight circle at the ends of the branches. The flowers are yellowish, in small panicles, forming reddish berries upon pollination.
