Swintonia floribunda is a large tropical forest tree in the cashew family and the type species of its genus, native to humid lowland and hill forests from Assam and Bangladesh through Indo-China and Malesia to Sumatra. It is a forest timber and ornamental-interest tree rather than a common garden plant, and it needs a warm, humid, wet tropical climate to grow well.
Swintonia floribunda is a tree species in the family Anacardiaceae and the type species in the genus. It can be found in the Andaman Islands, Bangladesh, Indo-China and Malesia through to Sumatra.
Plants of the World Online lists a subspecies, S. floribunda var. penangiana (King) K.M. Kochummen, which is found in peninsular Malaysia.
