About

Pseuduvaria reticulata is a species of plant in the family Annonaceae. It is native to Bangladesh, Borneo, Java, the Lesser Sunda Islands, Myanmar and Sumatra. Carl Ludwig Blume, the botanist who first formally described the species under the basionym Uvaria reticulata, named it after the net-like (reticulatus in Latin) pattern of veins on the underside of its leaves.

Where it grows

It has been observed growing in limestone, alluvial and sandstone in forests at elevations of 5–1,400 meters (16–4,600 ft).
