Description
Goniothalamus andersonii is a small medicinal tree that can grow up to 15 m tall. The dark brown, smooth, and sweet scent barks commonly used by the natives as a natural mosquito repellent. This species has either less or glabrous twigs that are wrinkled along their length and turn dark grey to black colour when dried. The shape of the leaves is elliptic to obovate with blade sizes ranging from 9–19 cm long and 4–8 cm wide. The leaves have a thick leathery texture. The above midrib is a little bit immersed, but the yellowish-brown bottom midrib is prominent and when dried, it has wrinkled along it. The bright yellow outer flower petals are ovate-lanceolate in shape with sizes measuring approximately 4 cm long and 1 cm wide. On the other hand, the inner petals have an ovate shape, measuring about 8–10 mm long and 3–4 mm wide. This species can produce more than 30 ellipsoidal monocarps with sizes ranging from 16–20 mm long and up to 10 mm in diameter. When dried, the monocarps turn to dark brown. Each monocarp contains one seed, which is shiny, smooth, brown in colour, and oblong-cylindrical, with a size approximately 11 mm long, 8 mm in diameter, and 6 mm thick. This species is native to Borneo, where it is only can be found in a few locations in lowland peat swamp forests located at Sarawak and Brunei (Turner et al., 2014).
