Brownlowia emarginata is a slightly climbing tree, a member of the family Malvaceae. It occurs in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand.[1]

In southern Vietnam and Cambodia, B. emarginata, usually a "slightly climbing" tree, sometimes a long liana, occurs in deciduous dense forests.[2] This treelet is found frequently as an understorey species in the Deciduous Dipterocarp Forest (canopy dominated by 5 Dipterocarpaceae species) occurring in small areas in the Phnom Kulen National Park, Siem Reap Province, Cambodia.[3] It is recorded from Khong District in Champasak Province, southwestern Laos.[4]

The leaves of the tree are non-peltate, in common with only 14 other Brownlowia species in Southeast Asia.[5]

One of the vernacular names by which the plant is known is ach' sat' (Khmer, ="bird droppings", alluding to shape of the fruit),[2] or archsatt.[3]

The wood, reddish in colour, is valued highly for rafters, pillars, tool handles and other building uses in Cambodia.[2] Charcoal made from the wood is excellent.
