Goniothalamus tapis is a species of flowering plant in the family Annonaceae. It is a tree native to Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, and Thailand. Friedrich Anton Wilhelm Miquel, the Dutch botanist who first formally described the species, named it after a local vernacular name, Kajoe-tapis, from Pariaman Sumatra where the specimen he examined was found.
It has been observed growing in rainforests at elevations of 30–900 meters (98–3,000 ft).
Bioactive molecules extracted from its bark and roots have been reported to inhibit platelet-activating factor receptor binding in tests with rabbit platelets.
