Nephelium hypoleucum, the korlan,[1] is a tree in the family Sapindaceae. It is in the same genus as the rambutan and also closely related to several other tropical fruits including the lychee, longan, and guinep. The plant is native to Southeast Asia and lives wild in the jungles of the region, although it is also cultivated in some countries such as Cambodia, Malaysia and Thailand.

The fruit is a round to oval drupe borne in a loose pendant cluster.
