Parinari anamensis
Parinari anamensis is a tropical forest tree from Indo-China, known as Annamese burada, that is grown mainly as a shade or timber tree in its native lowland moist forests. Its grower-relevant care is that of a large wet-tropical tree, so it suits warm, humid climates rather than indoor or container culture.
Parinari anamensis is a species of dicotyledonous flowering plant. It is a tree native to Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam, where it grows in lowland tropical moist forest. It is commonly known as Annamese burada. The Vietnamese name is cám. The Khmer name is thlok ធ្លក. A classical name for Cambodia is Nakorkuk Thlok ("the land of the thlok tree").
The trunk has a pinkish-brown hue with soft flaking bark (see illustration).
