Campnosperma auriculatum is a rainforest tree in the family Anacardiaceae native to the East Indies and Southeast Asia.[1][2] The sapling tree has very large leaves up to 1.8 metres (6 feet) long by up to 37 centimetres (15 inches) wide[3][4] with wavey margins. The leaves of mature trees are oblanceolate and about 75 centimetres (30 inches) long, forming a tight circle at the ends of the branches. The flowers are yellowish, in small panicles, forming reddish berries upon pollination.
