Prasoxylon rigidum is a tree in the family Meliaceae. The specific epithet rigidum is from the Latin meaning "rigid", likely referring to the leaflets. [2]
The tree grows up to 30 metres (100 ft) tall with a trunk diameter of up to 60 centimetres (24 in). The bark is reddish-grey and when slashed releases an onion-like scent. The fruits are pink to purplish-brown, roundish, up to 2.8 cm (1 in) in diameter. [2]
Prasoxylon rigidum is found in Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo. Its habitat is lowland rain forest from sea-level to 260 metres (1,000 ft) elevation. [2]
