Sphaerocoryne lefevrei, known in Khmer as rumduol/rumdul (រំដួល) and in Thai as lamduan (ลำดวน), is a flowering plant of the Annonaceae family, native to Southeast Asia. It is commonly cultivated as an ornamental plant, and is the national flower of Cambodia and the provincial flower of Thailand's Sisaket province. Some sources treat it as the same species as the similar S. affinis.
