Baccaurea ramiflora is a species of flowering plant in the family Phyllanthaceae.[2][3][4] This slow-growing evergreen tree is sometimes referred to in English by the common name Burmese grape.[5] It grows up to 25 m (82 ft) in height, with a spreading crown and thin bark.[6]

It is native to India (including the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and the Assam region), Bangladesh, Cambodia, southern China (including Hainan), Laos, Peninsular Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam.[2][1] It grows in evergreen forests on a wide range of soils.
Uses
The fruit is harvested and used locally, eaten as a fruit, stewed or made into wine; it is also used medicinally to treat skin diseases. The bark, roots and wood are harvested for medicinal uses.[6] The fruit is oval, colored yellowish, pinkish to bright red or purple, 2.5–3.5 cm (0.98–1.38 in) in diameter, glabrous, with 2–4 large purple-red seed, with white aril.
