Goniothalamus malayanus is a tree in the custard apple family (Annonaceae) from lowland rainforests and peat swamps of Southeast Asia, reaching about 15 m tall. It is a wild forest species rather than a common garden plant, so the care guidance below is general and tentative.
Goniothalamus malayanus is a species of flowering plant in the family Annonaceae. It is a tree native to Borneo, the Malay Peninsula, the Nicobar Islands, Sumatra and Thailand. Joseph Dalton Hooker and Thomas Thomson, the British botanists who first formally described the species, named it after part of its habitat range, British Malaya (now referred to as the Malay Peninsula).
It has been observed growing in lowland rain forests and the drier parts of peat swamp forests from sea level to 400 metres elevation.
Bioactive molecules extracted from its tissues have been reported to have antibacterial activity in tests with Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria.
