Lophopetalum multinervium is a large tropical forest tree from Southeast Asia, growing up to 36 m tall, with a buttressed trunk and leathery leaves. It is not a houseplant and is grown mainly in its native wet tropical forests and swamps, so home growing is impractical.
Lophopetalum multinervium is a tree in the family Celastraceae. The specific epithet multinervium means 'many-veined', referring to the leaves.
Lophopetalum multinervium is native to Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore and Sumatra. Its habitat is mainly in swamp forests, but occasionally in submontane forests to elevations of 1,500 m (5,000 ft).
Lophopetalum multinervium is extensively harvested for its timber, which is used locally and traded internationally. In Singapore, the species forms part of the diet of local Raffles' banded langurs.
