Shorea parvistipulata, locally known as kawang daun merah, is a species of tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae. It is endemic to Borneo, where it is widespread in lowland and hill rain forests. [1]
Shorea parvistipulata is a large emergent tree, which can grow up to 70 meters high. [1]
Shorea parvistipulata is widespread on the island, present in Sabah and Sarawak states of Malaysia, Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo), and Brunei. It grows in lowland mixed dipterocarp forest and lower montane mixed dipterocarp forest, up to 1,300 meters elevation. [1]
Three subspecies are recognized: [2] [1]
Dipterocarpaceae is a family of 16 genera and about 695 known species of mainly tropical lowland rainforest trees. Their distribution is pantropical, from northern South America to Africa, the Seychelles, India, Indochina, Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines. The greatest diversity of Dipterocarpaceae occurs in Borneo.
Shorea is a genus of about 196 species of mainly rainforest trees in the family Dipterocarpaceae. The genus is named after Sir John Shore, the governor-general of the British East India Company, 1793–1798. The timber of trees of the genus is sold under the common names lauan, luan, lawaan, meranti, seraya, balau, bangkirai, and Philippine mahogany.
Shorea alutacea is a species of tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae. It is endemic to Borneo, where it is confined to Sarawak.
Shorea cordata is a species of plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. The species name cordata is derived from Latin and refers to the shape of the leaf base. It is an emergent tree, up to 50 m, found in mixed dipterocarp forest on clay-rich soils over igneous rock.
Shorea kudatensis is a species of tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae. It is endemic to Borneo, in low coastal hills of the north and west of Malaysian Sabah.
Shorea leprosula is a species of tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae. It is native to Sumatra, Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia, Java, and Thailand.
Shorea micans is a species of plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. The species name is derived from Latin and refers to this species shiny leaves.
Shorea revoluta is a species of plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. It is a tree endemic to Borneo.
Shorea superba is a species of plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. The species name is derived from Latin and refers to the stature and elegance of the tree.
Shorea symingtonii is a species of plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. It is endemic to Sabah in Borneo.
Shorea agamii is a species of plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. The species is named after J. Agama a one time forest officier in the Sabah Forestry Department. Two subspecies are recognised subsp. agamii and subsp diminuta. The subspecies name diminuta is derived from Latin and refers to the smaller leaves of this subspecies.
Shorea confusa is a species of plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. The species name is derived from Latin and refers to the fact that this species is often misidentified as Shorea virescens. S. confusa is endemic to Borneo. It is an emergent tree, up to 50 metres (160 ft) tall, in mixed dipterocarp forest on clay-rich soils. It is a light hardwood sold under the trade names of white meranti. S. confusa is found in at least three protected areas, but is threatened elsewhere due to habitat loss.
Shorea calcicola is a species of plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. It is endemic to Borneo. The species name is derived from Latin and refers to the preferred habitat of this species. It is a medium-sized tree, usually less than 50 metres (160 ft) tall, found in mixed dipterocarp forest on organic soils over limestone.
Shorea crassa is a species of plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. It is endemic to Borneo. The species name is derived from Latin and refers to thick leaf blade.
The Borneo lowland rain forests is an ecoregion, within the tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests biome, of the large island of Borneo in Southeast Asia. It supports approximately 15,000 plant species, 380 bird species and several mammal species. The Borneo lowland rain forests is diminishing due to logging, hunting and conversion to commercial land use.
Dipterocarpus ochraceus is a tropical rainforest tree endemic to Sabah. It is known from the ultramafic hills in the Ranau district.
Shorea fallax is a tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae, native to Borneo. The specific epithet fallax means "deceptive" and refers to the species initially being considered to be Shorea scaberrima.
Shorea mecistopteryx is a tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae, native to Borneo. The specific epithet mecistopteryx means "big wing", referring to the fruit's lobes.
Shorea pinanga is a tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae, native to Borneo. The specific epithet pinanga is derived from a local name for the species.
Shorea woodii is a tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae, native to Borneo. It is named for the botanist Geoffrey Wood.
