Its name in Vietnamese is Trau tráu, and it is called "salapee" in Thailand and Laos.[5] It is a tree native to Indochina (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam) and Peninsular Malaysia (Penang).[3] It is a small evergreen tree which grows 5 to 15 metres tall.[1] It has fragrant yellow or white flowers and a small oval fruit. It grows in lowland and montane tropical moist forests from 10 to 1,300 metres elevation.[1]
