Shorea atrinervosa Symington |
Shorea atrinervosa is a species of plant in the Dipterocarpaceae family. The species name is derived from Latin (ater = dull black and nervosus = nerved) and refers to leaf venation which is black in herbarium specimens. It is an emergent tree, up to 50 m, found in mixed dipterocarp forest on clay-rich soils[1]. S. atrinervosa is found in Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra and Borneo. It is found in at least four protected areas (Ulu Telupid[2] and Bidu Bidu[3] Forest Reserves and Lambir and Gunung Mulu National Parks)[1].
