Dipterocarpus condorensis is a species of plant in the evergreen or semi-evergreen family Dipterocarpaceae.

It is an emergent tree, up to 50 m tall, in mixed dipterocarp forest on dry ridges. It is found in Sumatra, coastal Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, and Borneo, the Philippines, and Vietnam. [1] It is a medium hardwood sold under the trade names of Keruing. It was formerly most abundant along the coastal hills on sandy soils, but is endangered due to land conversion. [2] D. condoriensis is found in at least one protected area (Sepilok Forest Reserve).

Subspecies

There are two accepted subspecies: [1]

The synonymous species name caudatus is derived from Latin (caudatus = tailed) and refers to the narrow acumen of the leaf apex. [2]
