Dillenia or commonly known as Simpoh or Simpor or
Simpur is a genus of 100 species of flowering plants
in the family Dilleniaceae, native to tropical and
subtropical regions of southern Asia, Australasia, and
the Indian Ocean islands.
The genus is named after the German botanist Johann
Jacob Dillenius, and consists of evergreen or semievergreen trees and shrubs.
Dillenia is widespread in Brunei and can grow in various

It is a species that can be seen in the white sands of
