Chionanthus pachyphyllus is a tree from the olive family (Oleaceae), native to the forests of Borneo, where it can reach about 22 metres tall. It is a rainforest species rarely grown in cultivation, so care should follow tropical forest-tree conditions: warmth, humidity and consistently moist soil.
Chionanthus pachyphyllus grows as a tree up to 22 metres (70 ft) tall, with a trunk diameter of up to 20 centimetres (8 in). The bark is light brown. The flowers are yellow. The specific epithet pachyphyllus is from the Greek meaning 'thick leaf'. Habitat is forests from sea level to 1,500 metres (5,000 ft) altitude. C. pachyphyllus is endemic to Borneo.
