Canarium pseudodecumanum is a large tropical forest tree of the incense tree family, reaching up to 40 m, found in lowland swamp forests of Southeast Asia. It is a forest timber and resin tree, not a garden or houseplant, so it is rarely grown outside its native wet tropical range.
Canarium pseudodecumanum is a tree of tropical Asia in the incense tree family Burseraceae. The specific epithet pseudodecumanum is from the Latin meaning "false decumanum", referring to the species' resemblance to Canarium decumanum.
Canarium pseudodecumanum grows naturally in Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo. Its habitat is lowland forests on swamp land from sea-level to 280 m (900 ft) altitude.
The tree's resin is used in boat construction. The fruit is considered edible. The seeds produce an edible oil.
