Burkillanthus is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the citrus family, Rutaceae, containing the single species Burkillanthus malaccensis. [1] It is native to Sumatra in Indonesia. It is also native to the Malay Peninsula and Sarawak in Malaysia, but it is extirpated from the peninsula and in Sarawak it was only known from a single specimen collected in 1961. [1] Its common name is Malay ghostlime. [2]
This species is part of the same subfamily (Aurantioideae), tribe (Citreae), and subtribe (Citrinae), as genus Citrus , and as such, it is known technically as a citrus fruit tree. [2] It grows singly or in small groups in primary and secondary forest habitat. [1]

Few specimens of any of the three species exist, due not only to their rarity, but also because they rarely enter the subcanopy of the forest where they can be caught in scientists' nets.

Sarawak Malay is a Malayic language native to the State of Sarawak. It is a common language used by natives of Sarawak. This variant is related to Bruneian Malay, spoken in the districts of Limbang and Lawas (Sarawak) and bears strong similarities with Sanggau, Sintang and Sekadau Malay spoken in the northern part of the West Kalimantan province in Indonesia. There is some debate on whether it is a vernacular variety of Malay or a separate language altogether. It is more similar to Ibanic languages compared to the Malay dialects of Sumatra and the Malayan Peninsula, and is different enough from standard Malay that speakers outside of Sarawak are often unable to understand it without prior study..
