Pellacalyx axillaris is a large lowland rainforest tree of Southeast Asia, growing up to 25 m tall, rarely grown as a plant outside its native forests. It needs wet, humid tropical conditions and is not a practical garden or houseplant.
Pellacalyx axillaris is a tree in the family Rhizophoraceae. The specific epithet axillaris means 'axillary', referring to the inflorescences.
Pellacalyx axillaris is native to Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, Sumatra, the Philippines, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar. Its habitat is in lowland dipterocarp forests and in secondary forests, at elevations of 200–500 m (700–1,600 ft), often near rivers.
