Shorea pinanga
Content
Description
Medium-sized or large tree.
Young twig, panicle, leaf bud, stipule and petiole shortly densely fuga- ceously to persistently gold-brown pubescent;
Leaves 11-24 by 4-9 cm, elliptic to narrowly ovate, ± thinly coriaceous, with broadly cuneate to subcordate base and to 1.5 cm long deltoid acumen;
Stipule to 6 by 1.5 £m glabrescent, hastate, subacute, somewhat persistent.
Petals deep pink, hardly contorted, long, linear-lanceolate, sparsely pubescent on parts exposed in bud.
Stamens 15, the innermost 5 slightly the longest;
Panicle to 24 cm long, terminal or axillary, lax, compressed;
Ovary subglobose, surmounted by a long narrow style and stylopodium about twice its length, the latter 2 distended in the distal half;
Notes
This, and to a lesser extent the two previous species, varies greatly and almost continuously in tomentum density, and also in leaf shape, number of nerves and relative length of petiole; the twig shape, and stipule scars are the most reliable characters to distinguish them.
The species may hybridize with S. macrophylla and S. amplexicaulis in restricted parts of its range.
