Note the large knobbly brown fruit at the bottom of the photo. Bangkal Nauclea orientalis is a common small tree of river banks in Borneo. In December 2016 when we visited the Kinabatangan river, the Bangkal trees along the bank were flowering and fruiting, providing a feast for the local wildlife including Proboscis Monkeys, Silvered Langurs, Long-tailed Macaques and fruit bats.
