It is a tree native to Borneo, Java, Peninsular Malaysia, and Sumatra.[2] It grows in tropical lowland dipterocarp rain forests, on hills, valleys, and along streams on moist, well-drained, and fertile loamy soils, up to 500 metres elevation.[1]
It is a critically endangered species threatened by habitat loss from logging and conversion of forests to agriculture and plantations.[1]
The species was first described by Carl Ludwig Blume in 1856. Two subspecies are accepted:[2]
