Sterculia parviflora is a species of tree in the Malvaceae family. It is locally known as kelumpang burung because the birds love to eat its fruit. It is native to Southeast Asia, where it grows in lowland and hill forests. The tree can reach heights of up to 35 meters and has a straight, cylindrical trunk with greyish to pinkish bark (Nor Azlin, 2014).

The leaves of Sterculia parviflora are simple with oblong to elliptic oblong shape and glossy green colour. They are arranged alternately on the branches and are typically about 10-27 cm long and 5-15 cm wide (Nor Azlin, 2014). The flowers of the tree are small and pale yellow, and are followed by large, yellow to orange-red fruit pods containing black seeds.
