Symplocos fasciculata is a tall forest tree from tropical Asia, reaching up to 23 m, grown mainly as a wild forest species rather than a garden plant. It is not a common cultivated plant, so care notes below are general guidance for the genus.
Symplocos fasciculata is a tree in the family Symplocaceae, native to tropical Asia. The specific epithet fasciculata means 'bundled' and refers to the inflorescence.
Symplocos fasciculata is native to the Nicobar Islands, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo, Java, the Philippines and Sulawesi. Its habitat is kerangas and mixed dipterocarp forests, at elevations to 1,700 m (5,600 ft).
In Java, the bark and leaves of Symplocos fasciculata are used to make dyes, including for batik. In local medicine, a powdered form of the bark is used as a remedy for sore eyes.
