Durio graveolens, sometimes called red-fleshed durian,orange-fleshed durian, or yellow durian, is a species of tree in the Malvaceae family. It is one of six species of durian named by Odoardo Beccari. The specific epithet graveolens ('strong smelling' or 'rank') is due to the odor, although most species of Durio (most notably Durio dulcis) have a strong scent, and the red-fleshed type of D. graveolens has very little scent.
D. graveolens is an edible durian, perhaps the most popular 'wild' species of durian, and it is sold commercially regionally. However its sibling species Durio zibethinus is the typical species eaten and dominates sales worldwide. This species also should not be confused with the popular durian clones from Malaysia known as Red flesh (D164) and Red Prawn (D175), as both of those belong to Durio zibethinus.
However, D. graveolens does have one registered variety, DQ2 nyekak (DK8). The color of the fruit's flesh denotes other varieties: An orange-fleshed, a red-fleshed one. and yellow-fleshed. These varieties in fact may be different species, but currently it is not known for sure. The yellow-fleshed kind is sometimes called durian simpor.
In Malay it is called durian burong/durian burung (lit. 'bird durian'),durian rimba (lit. 'jungle durian'),durian kuning (lit. 'yellow durian'),durian merah (lit. 'red durian'), or durian otak udang galah (lit. 'crayfish brain durian'). In Iban it is durian isu. The Bidayuh call it durian umot. Among the Kenyah and Dayak peoples it is known as durian anggang (lit. 'hornbill durian'),durian ajan, pesang,tabela/ta-bela,tabelak,taula,tuala, tuwala. On Sumatra the Batak call it tinambela. In Karo it is called meraan. In Southern Thailand it is referred to as ทุเรียน-ริะกกะ (thureīyn-rakka). In Aceh Tamiang Regency it can be called durian batu (lit. 'stone durian'), and elsewhere in Sumatra it known as durian adjan. Other regional names include durian dalit (but this can apply also to Durio oxleyanus) alau, dujen, durian alau, durian daun dungoh, durian hutan (lit. 'forest durian'), durian pipit, lai bengang, merang kunyit, pasang, and tongkai.
