The species grows as a shrub or a small tree, some 4-10m tall, in secondary formations of Peninsular Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. In central Cambodia, it occurs in the understorey of dry deciduous forest, and has an average wood density of 0.635g/cm, and a water content of 0.378g/cm.

Vernacular names, use

In Khmer the taxa is known as kânh chhrôôl, its trunk is often used in Cambodia for pickets, while its twigs are used for firewood. The sap of the plant is an alternative source of lacquer.
