Durio crassipes, also known as durian hutan[what language is this?], is a species of flowering plant in the mallow family that is endemic to Borneo.[1]
The tree grows to 60 m in height with a 20 m buttressed bole. The oval leaves are 7–11 cm long by 2.5–3 cm wide, with smooth uppersides, and with undersides covered with brown scales and hairs. The inflorescences comprise clusters of 10 or more pink to red flowers along the branches. The fruits are 7–10 cm long by 5.5–7 cm wide, covered with 5 cm-long red spines, and containing 3 cm-long black seeds encased in an edible, creamy yellow aril.[1]
