BS.DG.4.104 Dipterocarpus validus (Dillenia excelsa*)
Dipterocarpus validus collected from plot 4 in the Danau Girang Field Centre by T.F, B.R, N.J, A.G, P.L & S.T on 14/09/2014.
Plot 4 contains riparian forest at the edge of an oxbow lake, GPS position 5,243238 ; 118,022438. 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.
Dipterocarpaceae contains 17 genera, 535 species indigenous to the tropics especially Malaysia. Trees up to 60m, usually resinous, usually with buttresses and ecto-trophic mycorrhizae. Have been found in Miocene deposits in Borneo, richest in Malaysia (267 spp. in Borneo alone). Gregarious flowering initiated by periods of high radiation, fruiting associated with pigs. Principle emergent and basis of export for Indomalaysia, plywood, resins for varnishes. Examples: Shorea is most important genus in Malaysia, fruits yield a common edible fat (Mabberley, 2008).
Plots: 9-10 KOCP (riparain Kinabatangan edge), 14-4 DG (riparian oxbow edge).
Found: Borneo and the Philippines (Soepadmo et al., 2004).
Description: Emergent tree, to 50m tall, to 1.8m diameter; crown rather flat, diffuse, large-leaved; buttresses to 2.5m tall (Soepadmo et al., 2004).
Ecology: Locally abundant, sometimes gregarious, in lower floodplains behind the mangrove, and near river banks further inland; occasional on low hills on clay-rich soils at altitudes to 200m (Soepadmo et al., 2004).
Uses: Yields wood oil and keruing timber. (2010).
Synonyms: D. affinis, D. lasiopodus, D. warburgii, D. woodii (Plant List, 2010)
