Shorea ochracea Symington[2] | |
It is an emergent tree, up to 50 metres (160 ft) tall, in mixed dipterocarp forest on sandy clay soils and clay soils.[2] It is a light hardwood sold under the trade names of white meranti. Shorea ochracea is found in at least two national parks (Betung Kerihun and Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Parks), but is threatened elsewhere due to conversion of land for palm oil plantations, mining and logging.[1]
