Caesalpinia sappan, commonly known as Sepang Tree or Sappanwood, is a small to medium-sized tropical tree valued for its ornamental foliage, attractive yellow flowers, and historical significance. Native to Southeast Asia, the species is well known for its reddish heartwood, which has traditionally been used as a natural dye and herbal ingredient.

The tree develops a broad, airy canopy with finely divided leaves that create a soft, elegant texture in the landscape. Bright yellow flowers provide seasonal interest and attract pollinators, making it a suitable choice for parks, gardens, and ecological landscape projects.
