The rambutan plant, scientifically known as Nephelium lappaceum, is an evergreen tree native to Southeast Asia, widely cultivated for its edible fruit. It's characterized by its straight trunk, dense crown, dark green leaves, and fruits covered in soft, hairy spines.
Rambutan flowers can be male, female, or hermaphroditic. They are small, apetalous, and discoidal, borne in erect terminal panicles.
