Gonvstvlus confusus Airy Shaw is a tree that reaches a height of 30m and a girth of 2.2m. The plant grows in the low undulating rain forests of Thailand, Malaysia, and Sumatra up to 600nm in altitude. The plant can be found in peat swamp forests and lowland dipterocarp forests. The bark shows elongated, adherent scales. The leaves are simple and alternate exstipulate. The petiole is woody and cracked. The blade is oblong-elliptical, and shows about 10 pairs of secondary nerves, 8cm x 2cm x 15cm x 6cm, tapering at the apex, wedge-shaped at the base, and is a drying, dull purplish-brown. The margin is slightly recurved. The blade is thinly leathery. The midrib is flat or prominently raised above the blade. Inflorescences have terminal racemes up to 10cm long. The fruits are ovoid, 4-10cm across, rough, dull brown, pointed at the apex, and 3-shouldered (Figure 21.2).
