Hydnocarpus saigonensis is a tree in the Achariaceae family. It is endemic to the Mekong basin of Cambodia and southern Vietnam (Tây Ninh Province and the former Phước Tuy Province).[2][3][4][5]

It grows some 7-10m tall, and is found in relatively small and fragmented populations within secondary forest formations, and the flooded forests of Tonle Sap and the Mekong.[3][4][6]

The wood is used to make charcoal, occasionally for temporary constructions. It is known as krâbau nhi, krâbau sva: and krâbau phlè tauch (="small fruit-krabau") in Khmer.[3][7]
