Aglaia silvestris is a species of plant in the family Meliaceae. It is found in Cambodia, India , Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines , the Solomon Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam. This plant initiated the naming of the Rocaglamide derivatives silvestrol and episilvestrol.[2] In fact they were derived from the fruits and twigs of Aglaia foveolata.[3]
