Its name in Vietnamese is Trau tráu, and it is called "salapee" in Thailand and Laos. It is a tree native to Indochina (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam) and Peninsular Malaysia (Penang). It is a small evergreen tree which grows 5 to 15 metres tall. It has fragrant yellow or white flowers and a small oval fruit. It grows in lowland and montane tropical moist forests from 10 to 1,300 metres elevation.
