Chisocheton tomentosus

Chisocheton tomentosus is a rainforest tree of the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra, growing in lowland and hill dipterocarp forest. It is a tall, rarely branching tree that is not grown as a garden or houseplant, so care is mostly of interest to botanists and tropical forest conservation.
