Introduction |
Shorea glauca King
- Protologue: Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 62(2): 117 (1893).
Vernacular names
- Indonesia: balau bunga, rasak pai, semantok lungkik (western Sumatra)
- Malaysia: balag tiong, damar laut daun besar, selimbar (Peninsular)
- Thailand: ek, ku-be (peninsular).
Distribution
Peninsular Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia and western Sumatra.
Uses
The timber is used as balau. Old specimens exude a dammar which is purer than that of many other Shorea species.
Observations
- A medium-sized to large tree up to 50 m tall with cylindrical bole branchless for 18-27 m and 120-160(-250) cm in diameter and with prominent buttresses.
- Leaves ovate to lanceolate, 6-15 cm × 2.3-9 cm, thin, with 7-10 pairs of secondary veins hardly raised beneath, lower surface glaucous.
- Petals short, elliptical-oblong, stamens c. 60, with barbate appendages.
- Fruit calyx lobes unequal, larger three up to 7 cm × 1.8 cm.
S. glauca occurs locally and often semi-gregariously, especially on rocky slopes and ridges, from sea-level up to 500(-600) m altitude. The density of the wood is 840-1135 kg/m3 at 15% moisture content. See also the table on wood properties.
Selected sources
102, 253, 258, 297, 318, 417, 446, 628, 677, 748.
