Peninsular Malaysia and northern Borneo (Sarawak, Brunei, Sabah).
Uses
The timber is used as resak.
Observations
- A medium-sized to large tree, up to 40 m tall with straight, cylindrical bole up to 70 cm in diameter and small buttresses.
- Leaves narrowly oblong, 10-17 cm × 3.5-5.5 cm, with 12-22 pairs of secondary veins, glabrescent, petiole 10-20 mm long.
