Heliciopsis velutina is a tropical forest tree in the Protea family, growing up to 25 m tall in lowland dipterocarp forest in Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo. It is a rarely grown species, so its cultivation needs are mostly inferred from its wet tropical native habitat.
Heliciopsis velutina is a species of trees, in the family Proteaceae. They grow up to 25 metres (80 ft) tall, with a trunk diameter of up to 25 cm (10 in). The bark is dark brown. They have reddish brown flowers. They have brown, ellipsoid fruits up to 4 cm (2 in) long. The specific epithet velutina comes from the Latin meaning 'velvety', referring to the petiole. They grow naturally in lowland mixed dipterocarp forests' habitats from sea level to 600 metres (2,000 ft) altitude in Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo.
