The sole species is '''''Sloetia elongata''''', a tree native to southeastern Asia, ranging from the [[Nicobar Islands]] to [[Peninsular Malaysia]], [[Sumatra]], [[Borneo]], and [[Sulawesi]].

It is commonly known as "tampines tree" in Singapore, which is used as place names – [[Sungei Tampines]] river and [[Tampines|Tampines Town]] are named after it.{{R|LKCNHM}} In [[Kuala Lumpur]], the streets of a neighbourhood in [[Bangsar]] suburb are named, for example, Jalan Tempinis, Jalan Tempinis Kanan/Kiri and Lorong Tempinis Kiri 5.{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}}
