Durio macrantha is a rare durian relative, a small tree from northern Sumatra known mainly from cultivated specimens, with large flowers. It is a wet tropical tree best grown in warm, humid, frost-free conditions.
Durio macrantha is a species of durian.
The species was first found in Gunung Leuser National Park in Northern Sumatra in 1981. A specimen was then grown in the garden of botanist André Joseph Guillaume Henri Kostermans, who described it as a separate species based on his cultivated specimen. Despite several expeditions, additional specimens have not been found in the wild. The species has since been cultivated in Australia.
