In Singapore: Common Sterculia, Kelumpang Burong, Kelumpang Gajah, Samrong (Native to Singapore, Critically Endangered)
Sterculia parviflora is a tree in the mallow family native to seasonally dry tropical forests from Bangladesh to western Malesia, reaching up to about 35 metres tall. It is a forest tree rather than a garden plant, so home growing is uncommon and best attempted in a warm, frost-free area with plenty of space.
Sterculia parviflora is a species of plant in the family Malvaceae. It is found in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore.
First described in the Flora Indica by the botanist William Roxburgh, S. parviflora is a tree reaching up to 35 metres (115 ft) tall.
