Description
Evergreen small tree, c. 5 m.
Leaves 15-20-(or probably more-)jugate;
Panicles and flowers as in typical M. lanceolata, but sepals up to c. 1.5 mm.
Fruit as in M. lanceolata.

Asia-Tropical: Sumatera (Sumatera present), G. Malin-tang present

Notes
This species was by BLUME erroneously recorded to occur in S. Borneo.
Meliosma hirsuta is doubtless very closely related to M. lanceolata, but very well distinct by its leaf characters.
See also Pimela angustifolia under the dubious species.
