Gomphia serrata is a plant in the family Ochnaceae. The specific epithet serrata is from the Latin meaning "with teeth", referring to the leaf margin.[3]

Description

Gomphia serrata grows as a shrub or medium-sized tree measuring up to 20 metres (70 ft) tall with a diameter of up to 40 centimetres (16 in). The scaly bark is dark grey-brown. The flowers are yellow or cream-coloured. The yellowish-green fruits are kidney-shaped and measure up to 1 cm (0.4 in) long.[3]

Distribution and habitat

Gomphia serrata grows naturally in southwestern India, Sri Lanka, Indochina, Hainan, Indonesia and Borneo.[1][3] Its habitat is lowland to submontane forests, including mixed dipterocarp and kerangas forests, from sea-level to 1,500 metres (5,000 ft) altitude.[3]
