Dryobalanops keithii

Dryobalanops keithii is a species of plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. The species is named after H.G. Keith, 1899–1982, a Conservator of Forests in North Borneo (now Sabah). This species is endemic to Borneo, where it is threatened due to habitat loss.[1] It is a main canopy to low emergent tree, up to 40 m tall, found in mixed dipterocarp forest on well-drained but moist clay soils.[2] It is a heavy hardwood sold under the trade names of Kapur.
