Sindora siamensis is a species of tree in the subfamily Detarioideae of the family Fabaceae (also known as the legume family). It has an accepted infraspecific, the variety S. siamensis var. maritima (Pierre) K.Larsen & S.S.Larsen. See taxon box to the right below, and below for details on the variety maritima. The nominate species (i.e. not the variety) is found in many countries in tropical Asia. Like several other species in the genus Sindora, its wood is considered valuable; the least concern conservation status[1] may reflect efforts to replant this species, but mortality rates are high.[4] As well as the wood, the plant provides raw material for chemical products, food and drink, and domestic utensils.
