Rambai (Baccaurea motleyana)

Baccaurea motleyana, commonly known as rambai, is a tropical fruit tree in the Phyllanthaceae family, native to Southeast Asia and widely grown in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand. The tree produces clusters of small, round, yellowish fruits that hang directly from the branches and trunk—a characteristic known as cauliflory. The sweet-to-tart translucent flesh is enjoyed fresh, made into preserves, or used in traditional dishes. Ecologically, Baccaurea motleyana supports forest biodiversity by providing food for wildlife, while culturally it remains a cherished seasonal fruit in many rural communities across the region.
