Knema glaucescens is a species of plant in the family Myristicaceae. It is native to Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore and Borneo.[1] However, a morpho-taxonomic study of fossil leaves assemblage discovered from the upper part of the Siwalik succession of sediments of Papum Pare district, Arunachal Pradesh, India, had shape, base and venation pattern comparable to Knema glaucescens (Myristicaceae).[2]
