Nephelium aculeatum, also known as Rambutan utan,[3] is a tree that is native to Borneo[4] The tree's fruit is edible[3] and is an oval shape. It has groups of 4 stemming jugate leaves and its petioles can be 8–10 cm (3.1–3.9 in) long. Though the leaves and fruits may look similar to Nephelium hypoleucum, they do not have much in common in botanical standards.[5]: 382
