Agathis lenticula
Content
Description
Large tree to 45 m tall.
Seed c. 11 by 7 mm with a slight blunt to no projection on one upper corner and a broadly rounded wing c. 8 by 14 mm at the other corner.
Distribution
Asia-Tropical: Borneo (Sabah present), Crocker range present, Mt Kinabalu present
Malesia: Sabah (Mt Kinabalu and the Crocker Range). .
Notes
This species occurs just below A. kinaba-luensis on Mt Kinabalu where the two can easily be compared in the field. The distinctive leaf shapes are readily apparent but in herbarium specimens the glaucous leaf undersurface is generally not detectable. Other differences are the larger pollen cones with blunt, not angled, microsporophylls and the lack of a sharp projection at the upper corner of the seed. Besides A. orbicula and A. endertii, other Agathis species with glaucous leaf undersides occur far to the east beyond Malesia.
