Pseuduvaria galeata is a forest tree from Peninsular Malaysia, reaching about 8 metres, grown mainly in its native habitat rather than in cultivation. It is a rainforest understorey species rather than a garden plant, so care notes are based on its natural habitat.
Pseuduvaria galeata is a species of plant in the family Annonaceae. It is a tree endemic to Peninsular Malaysia. James Sinclair, the Scottish botanist who first formally described the species, named it after the dome formed by inner petals shaped like a helmet (galeata in Latin).
It has been observed growing in peat soils in swamp and dry forests on slopes and hills at elevations up to 500 meters.
