__NOTOC__
:Protologue: Gard. Bull. Str. Settl. 8: 283, pl. 26 (1935).
== Vernacular names ==
*Brunei: seringawan
*Malaysia: alan, alan bunga (Sarawak).
== Distribution ==
North-western Borneo.
== Uses ==
''S. albida'' is an important source of dark red meranti timber. Comparatively heavy timber is sometimes traded as "alan batu" which is similar to red balau. Lighter material is called "alan bunga".
== Observations ==
A medium-sized to very large tree up to 70 m tall, with a long bole up to 190 cm in diameter, buttresses prominent, up to 5 m high, twigs compressed; leaves oblong-elliptical, 7.5-15 cm × 4.5-6.5 cm, with 16-20 pairs of secondary veins, midrib obscure above; stamens 20-25, anthers narrowly oblong; larger fruit calyx lobes up to 8 cm × 1.4 cm. ''S. albida'' occurs typically in peat-swamp forest and locally on podzolic soils in heath forest up to 1200 m altitude. The density of the wood is variable: 590-850 kg/m<sup>3</sup>at 15% moisture content.
== Selected sources ==
30, 89, 258, 748.
