''Dracontomelon dao'', the New Guinea walnut, Pacific walnut, or Paldao, is a tropical canopy tree distinguished mostly by its height , for its greyish-brown trunk which is branchless up to about 20 m , and for its narrow buttresses which can reach up its trunk up to 6 m high. The species name is taken from the tree's name in Filipino.
