Nephelium aculeatum, also known as Rambutan utan,[3] is a tree that is native to Borneo.[4] It is part of the family Sapindaceae.[5] It's fruit is edible[3] and is oval shaped. It has groups of four stemming jugate leaves and its petioles can be 8–10 cm (3.1–3.9 in) long. Though the leaves and fruits may look similar to Nephelium hypoleucum, they do not have much in common in botanical standards.[6]: 382
