__NOTOC__
:Protologue: Acta Bot. Neerl. 12: 323, pl. 1 (1963).
== Vernacular names ==
*Brunei: selangan batu tembaga
*Malaysia: balau tembaga (Peninsular), selangan tembaga (Sarawak), selangan batu tembaga (Sabah).
== Distribution ==
Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo.
== Uses ==
The timber is used as balau.
== Observations ==
A medium-sized to very large tree up to 60 m tall, bole up to 95 cm in diameter, buttresses up to 1.5 m high, crown characteristically coppery; leaves oblong to broadly ovate, 9-15 cm × 3.5-7 cm, with 12-18 pairs of secondary veins prominent and purplish-brown scabrid tomentose beneath, lower surface golden to silver lepidote; petals narrow, stamens 30-40; fruit calyx lobes unequal, three larger ones up to 8 cm × 2.4 cm. ''S. exelliptica'' is fairly common on leached clay soils on undulating land, ridges and plateaux up to 600 m altitude. The density of the wood is 865-1045 kg/m<sup>3</sup>at 15% moisture content.
== Selected sources ==
30, 89, 100, 258, 677, 748.
