Shorea revoluta (called, along with some other species in the genus Shorea , light red meranti) is a species of plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. It is a tree endemic to Borneo. [1]
Shorea revoluta is a tree which grows up to 45 meters in height.
Shorea revoluta grows in Brunei, southwestern Sabah, and northeastern Sarawak in northern Borneo. [2] It may also range into Kalimantan, the Indonesian portion of the island. [1]
It lives in heath forests, also known as kerangas forests, which grow on nutrient-poor sandy soils. It is an emergent tree, which grows higher than the forest canopy. Its range extends from the lowlands up to 1,200 meters elevation. [1]
Shorea revoluta has a small and declining population, and is subject to habitat loss across most of its range from the extensive deforestation of lowland Borneo. Its current population and range are not well understood. The Brunei subpopulation is mostly in forest reserves, while the Malaysian subpopulations are mostly unprotected. Its conservation status is assessed as Critically Endangered. [1]
