Goniothalamus giganteus is a species of plant in the family Annonaceae. It is native to Malaya, Myanmar, Sumatra and Thailand. Joseph Dalton Hooker and Thomas Thomson, the British botanists who first formally described the species, named it after its exceptionally large (giganteus in Latin) flowers.
It has been observed growing in evergreen forests, swampy lowlands, and hillsides at elevations from sea level to 900 m.
Bioactive compounds extracted from its bark have been reported to have cytotoxic activity in tests with cultured human cancer cells.
