Plant Type

Nephelium hypoleucum, the korlan, is an evergreen tree in the family Sapindaceae. It is in the same genus as the rambutan and also closely related to several other tropical fruits including the lychee, longan, and guinep. The plant is native to Southeast Asia and lives wild in the jungles of the region.
The fruit is commonly eaten fresh off the tree. Only the pulp is eaten due to the seed being poisonous and is described to have a sour taste. Unlike the other similar fruits in this family, the korlan is picked by the locals to be sold in small quantities due to it not being cultivated.
