Payena obscura is a tree found in Southeast Asia, belonging to the Sapotaceae family. Its name, obscura, means "obscure" and refers to the leaf veins. It can grow up to 30 meters tall with a trunk diameter of 90 cm. The bark is brownish and flaky to fissured. The leaves can reach up to 16 cm in length and the inflorescences can bear up to nine flowers. The tree's latex can be used to make gutta-percha. There are two recognized varieties of Payena obscura, one endemic to Borneo and the other native to Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, and Sumatra. The species is vulnerable according to the IUCN Red List due to threats such as logging, mining, and production of rubber and palm oil. It can be found in protected areas such as Taman Negara National Park.
