Dipterocarpus borneensis | |
Dipterocarpus borneensis is a species of tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae. It is native to Borneo, Sumatra and Java. [1]
Dipterocarpus borneensis grows as a large tree reaching up to 30 m (100 ft) in height. It primarily occurs in lowland heath forests but also in mixed swamp forests and on raised beaches and plateaus. It occurs at elevations up to 400 m (1,300 ft). [1]
Dipterocarpus retusus, commonly known as hollong, is a large tree and perhaps the best known species in the genus Dipterocarpus. It is native to China, Vietnam, Philippines, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar, and India. The tree, some 20–30 metres (70–100 ft) tall, is found in Cambodia in dense forests of the plains, common on hillsides and along rivers and in forests between 800 m (2,600 ft) and 1,500 m (5,000 ft) altitude.
Dipterocarpus acutangulus is a species of tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae. The species name acutangulus is derived from Latin and refers to the ribs of the fruit calyx tube. It is native to peninsular Thailand and Malaysia and also Borneo, where it is locally known as keruing merkah or keruing beludu. It is an emergent tree up to 60 m tall. The tree occurs in mixed dipterocarp forests found on sandy and sandy clay soils on coastal hills and inland ridges, up to 1000 m elevation. It occurs in at least one protected area.
Dipterocarpus caudiferus is a species of tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae, endemic to Borneo. It grows as a large tree, up to 65 metres (200 ft) in height. Its habitat is mixed dipterocarp forests up to 800 m (2,600 ft) elevation. Dipterocarpus caudiferus is threatened mainly by conversion of land for palm oil plantations.
Dipterocarpus costulatus is a species of tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae. It grows up to 50 metres (160 ft) tall.
Dipterocarpus humeratus is a species of tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae. The species name humeratus is derived from Latin and refers to the articulated petiole. D. humeratus is an emergent tree, up to 50 m tall, found in mixed dipterocarp forests on well-drained clay soils. The species is found scattered or semi-gregarious on undulating land and clay ridges below 700 m elevation. It is found in Sumatra and Borneo and occurs in at least three protected areas.
Dipterocarpus grandiflorus is a species of flowering plant in the Dipterocarpaceae family. It is an endangered medium hardwood tree of Southeast Asia. It is a large tree which can grow up to 50 metres tall.
Dipterocarpus confertus is a species of plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. The species is named derived from Latin and probably refers to the indumentum. It is an emergent tree, up to 50 m (160 ft) tall. It is widespread in mixed dipterocarp forest on leached yellow clay soils up to 800 meters elevation. It is endemic to Borneo. The species is threatened by deforestation. It is a medium hardwood sold under the trade names of Keruing. It is found in at least one protected area.
Dipterocarpus conformis is a species of plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. The species is named derived from Latin and alludes to the great similarity in vegetative characters with two other large-leaved Dipterocarpus species. There are two subspecies; D. conformis subsp. conformis which is confined to Aceh and North Sumatra and D. conformis subsp. borneensis which is confined to Borneo. D. conformis subsp. borneensis is an emergent tree, up to 50 m tall, in mixed dipterocarp forest on clay soils over shale. It is a medium hardwood sold under the trade names of Keruing.
Dipterocarpus alatus, also known colloquially as the resin tree, is a tropical forest tree, of dense evergreen or mixed dense forests, in tropical Asia. It is considered vulnerable.
Tropical evergreen forests of India are found in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the Western Ghats, which fringe the Arabian Sea, the coastline of peninsular India, and the greater Assam region in the north-east. Small remnants of evergreen forest are found in Odisha state. Semi-evergreen forest is more extensive than the evergreen formation partly because evergreen forests tend to degrade to semi-evergreen with human interference. There are substantial differences between the three major evergreen forest regions.The average annual rainfall is 65-75 inches.
Dipterocarpus tuberculatus is a species of tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae found in Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. The tree is found in clear forests of plains, at altitudes up to 800–1,000 m (2,600–3,300 ft). It grows to a height of 5–25 m (16–82 ft).
Dipterocarpus intricatus is a species of tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae found in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam.
Dipterocarpus cuspidatus is a tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae.
Dipterocarpus lowii is a tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae.
Dipterocarpus nudus is a tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae.
Dipterocarpus pachyphyllus is a tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae. The specific epithet pachyphyllus means "thick leaves".
Dipterocarpus stellatus is a tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae. The specific epithet stellatus means "star-like", referring to its trichomes.
Madhuca borneensis is a plant in the family Sapotaceae.
Mandamai Forest Reserve is a protected forest reserve in Pitas District of Kudat Division in Sabah, Malaysia. It was designated as a Class 1 Protection Forest by the Sabah Forestry Department in 1984. Its area is 5,330 hectares (53.3 km2). The reserve is hilly, with the highest point being Mount Mabauk at 836 metres (2,743 ft). Two forest types make up the reserve: dipterocarp and kerangas. The main threat to the reserve forests is from fires.
Vatica borneensis is a tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae, native to Borneo.
