Who knows the name of this one ?

In opposition to the north-east side of Lombok, which is quite dry, the east part of the island has some woods. Here you can find some of the highest trees in Lombok at the feet of the Mount Rinjani.
Who can help me finding the name of this big guy ? I quite forgot its name, though I saw them also in Senegal.
