Mitrephora keithii is a small evergreen tree of the custard apple family, reaching about 6 m, found in lowland evergreen forest on limestone soils. Little is documented about cultivation, so it is mainly of interest to botanists and forest collectors.
Mitrephora keithii is a species of flowering plant in the family Annonaceae. It is native to Myanmar, Peninsular Malaysia, and Thailand. Henry Nicholas Ridley, the English botanist who first formally described the species, named it in honor of Dr. A. Keith who collected the sample that Ridley examined.
It has been observed growing in evergreen forests with limestone soil at elevations of 0 to 300 meters (980 ft).
