Madhuca dubardii, collected from plot 1 in the Danau Girang Field Centre by A.L, E.N, K.H, R.L, L.M and N.dV on 14/09/14.
Plot 1 contains riparian forest at the edge of an oxbow lake, GPS position 5,244356 ; 118,022277. Riparian forest often has high tree diversity and density. This type of forest is commonly found on the edge of a rivers, streams, ponds, lakes and some wetlands.
The Family Sapotaceae contains 53 genera and 975 species indigenous to the tropics, a few temperate species. Trees and shrubs, rarely lianas or geoxylic suffructices. Well-developed latex system and 2-armed hairs. Examples: Chrysophyllum-edible fruit, Manilkara-chewing gum, Argania, Madhuca, Vitellaria-oils, Baillonella, Manilkara, Sideroxylon-timbers, Synsepalum-sweetener (Mabberley, 2008).
Plots: 10-11 KOCP (dry lowland), 14-4 DG (riparian oxbow edge) 11-1 DG, 14-4 DG.
Found: Peninsula Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo (Slik, 2009).
Description: Sub-canopy tree up to 24m tall and 38cm dbh. Stem with white cap. Flowers yellow, placed in axillary bundles. Fruits brownish, drupes (Slik, 2009).
Ecology: Undisturbed mixed dipterocarp forests, up to 200m alt. usually along rivers and streams, clay to sandy soil. In secondary forest as a pre-disturbance remnant (Slik, 2009).
Synonyms: M. dubardii var. lanceolata (Plant List, 2010)
