Vernacular names
- Malaysia: nyatoh gunong (Peninsular).
Distribution
Peninsular Malaysia (Perak, Selangor, Pahang).
Uses
The timber is used as nyatoh.
Observations
- A medium-sized tree up to 30 m tall, with columnar bole, sometimes slightly fluted or knobbly, up to 100 cm in diameter.
- Leaves loosely clustered at tip of twigs, obovate (sometimes elliptical), with few, inconspicuous, transverse tertiary veins, velvety beneath.

P. regina-montium is locally very common in montane forest at 1000-1800 m altitude. The trees are deciduous, all individuals in a certain area shedding the leaves at the same time and flowering as the new leaves appear. The timber is fairly heavy, with a density of about 750 kg/m3 at 15% moisture content.
Selected sources
779, 792.
