Heritiera javanica is a large tropical forest tree in the mallow family (Malvaceae), reaching up to about 40 m in its native range from Indo-China to Malesia. It is a wild timber and forest species rather than a garden or houseplant, so it needs warm, humid, frost-free conditions and plenty of space.
Heritiera javanica is a species of tree in the family Malvaceae, subfamily Sterculioideae.
Like other species in this subfamily, flowers are unisexual; trees may grows up to 40 m high, and their Vietnamese name (under H. cochinchinensis) is huỷnh. No subspecies are listed in the Catalogue of Life.
