<big>''[[Madhuca motleyana]]'' (de Vriese) J.F. Macbr.</big>
__NOTOC__
:Protologue: Contr. Gray Herb. Harvard Univ., New Ser. 53: 18 (1918).
== Synonyms ==
''Ganua'' ''motleyana'' (de Vriese) Pierre ex Dubard (1908), ''Ganua'' ''scortechinii'' (King & Gamble) H.J. Lam (1925).
== Vernacular names ==
*Indonesia: ketiau, bengku (Sumatra), nyatu bekas (Kalimantan)
*Malaysia: nyatoh ketiau (Peninsular), ketiau (Sarawak, Sabah)
*Thailand: sateeyo (Narathiwat).
== Distribution ==
Peninsular Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, the Riau Archipelago, Belitung and Borneo.
== Uses ==
The timber is used as nyatoh. The latex is sold as an inferior quality of gutta-percha. The fat from the seeds is used in foods.
== Observations ==
A medium-sized to large tree up to 40 m tall with columnar bole up to 100 cm in diameter, buttresses absent or small and sometimes developing pneumatophores; leaves evenly distributed or loosely clustered at tips of twigs, ovate, obovate or elliptical, 5-20 cm × 2.5-8.5 cm, secondary veins joined in arches near margin, glabrous, stipules very small, caducous; flowers with sepals pubescent outside and tufted with some dark hairs at apex, 8-10-lobed corolla glabrous except for throat, 16-22 stamens and glabrous or hairy ovary; fruit ellipsoid, 1.5-3 cm × 1-2 cm, green, yellowish to reddish, 1-2-seeded; seed with thin or without endosperm and thick cotyledons. ''M.'' ''motleyana'' is common in freshwater and peat-swamp forests, generally near sea-level. The wood is yellowish-brown and has a density of 405-690 kg/m<sup>3</sup>at 15% moisture content. It is easy to saw, plane and bore. The seeds contain about 50% oil and no or little cyanide. See also the table on wood properties.
== Selected sources ==
36, 89, 100, 102, 190, 315, 318, 581, 699, 728, 779, 781, 792.
