Scaphium is a genus of about eight species of plants in the subfamily Sterculioideae of the family Malvaceae. The species are native to tropical Asia, ranging from the eastern Himalayas through Indochina to Borneo and Sumatra.[1] The name Scaphium was picked in reference to the shape of the plants' fruit, and is derived from the Greek word for skiff, skaphion (σκάφιον).[2]
