Crown: there is a gap between the stem and the thorns.

Thorns: fairly inconsistent. Whether far apart or close together, they can be as thin as needles, or pyramid-shaped.

Crown: a smooth and brown gap between the stem and the thorns.

Shape: bean-shaped, like a kidney or an egg

Stem: longer than other durian types

Base: brown five-pointed star. Balder, broader and more distinct than Musang King.
