Anaxagorea javanica was given with various local name such as Akar Angin (Semelai ethnic), Akar Rarak (Iban ethnic), Atis (Orang Sungai ethnic), Kamai and Kinchong (Temuan language), Mempisang, Pali Monyet and Perempin (Malay language), and Pengasi (Batek ethnic). According to National Parks Flora and Fauna Web, A Singapore Government Agency Website, this species also known as Bunga Pompun or Kekapur. This species is a treelet or tree can reach height up to 10 m. The glabrous twigs dry to pale green-brown or grey colour. The shape of leaves is ovate-elliptic, oblong or lanceolate with blade size ranging from 8.5−23 cm long and 3−7.5 cm width, and have membranous to chartaceous and glabrous texture. The dried leaves are pale grey-brown with pale brown midrib on underneath surface. It typically has one fragrant flower of cream or yellow colour per inflorescence, however it has occasionally been observed to have up to three flowers per inflorescence. This species can produce six to nine monocarps, which when dried, the colour turn to pale brown to dark grey. Each monocarp can hold only one to two shiny black seeds of pear-shaped with size approximately 12 mm long and 8 mm in diameter. It can be found all the way from Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, Java, Borneo (Sabah and Kalimantan) and Philippines at lowland forest as well as on limestone (Turner et al., 2014). Three varieties were recorded for this species that differ in perianth structure, where two variants are found in Sabah. One of them is lacking inner whorl of petals, namely A. j. var. tripetala with trimerous form and another variety is A. j. var. dipetala with dimerous form. Meanwhile A. j. var. javanica found in Kalimantan has two whorls of three petals.
