Horsfieldia fulva is a type of tree in the family Myristicaceae. The epithet name ‘fulva’ derived from a Latin word, fulvus meaning yellow-brown which refer to their flower. This species is distributed in Sumatra (Jambi) and Peninsular Malaysia (Perak, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Melaka and Pahang). It can be found in primary lowland forest in low undulating country to 100 m altitude, or in the coastal forest (Kiew et al., 2018).
The tree has a yellowish-brown bark that can grow up to 20 m tall. The twigs are 3-5 mm in diameter with hairs dense. The leaves are elliptic-oblong to oblong and the inflorescences are developed behind the leaves, with hairs 0.2-0.3 mm long. Its male inflorescences are 3-10 cm long and 2-6 cm wide, with flowers solitary or in loose clusters of up to 5 flowers, while female inflorescences are 1-2 cm long. The fruits shape is ovoid-ellipsoid and arranged in a cluster which contains about 3 fruits per infructescence (Kiew et al., 2018).
