Parashorea globosa
White seraya is a large timber tree of lowland rain forest in Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra, not a garden or houseplant. It is known from only a couple of locations, so it is rarely grown outside its native forests.
Parashorea globosa (also called white seraya) is a species of flowering plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. It is a tree native to Sumatra (Indonesia) and Peninsular Malaysia (Malaysia). It is known from two locations growing in lowland dipterocarp rain forest.
The species was described in 1939 by Colin Fraser Symington.
