Walsura decipiens is a forest tree of the mahogany family (Meliaceae), native to lowland rainforest in Borneo and grown only as a wild tree rather than a common garden or houseplant. Little cultivation information exists, so care should be treated as that of a large tropical forest tree.
Walsura decipiens is a tree in the family Meliaceae. The specific epithet decipiens means 'deceiving', referring to how the species has been mistaken for species in other plant families.
Walsura decipiens is endemic to Borneo. Its habitat is lowland forests to elevations of 150 m (500 ft).
