Status: 
Vulnerable

Borneo Ironwood

Family:
Lauraceae
Distribution:
This species is found in Indonesia, Brunei, Sabah, Sarawak and Philippines.
Habitat:
It grows in lowland secondary and primary forest, up to an altitude of approximately 500m.
Ecology:
This is a canopy species. It can be scattered or gregarious in its distribution. It grows best in well-drained sandy and clay soils. Once this tree is logged it has a very slow regeneration process.
Threats:
Ironwood is one of the heaviest and most durable timbers in the world, which has lead to its over-exploitation. This species is also threatened because of the difficulty in its cultivation and poor regeneration.
At Harapan Rainforest:
Ironwood is being grown successfully in the Harapan Rainforest nursery and saplings of this species are already being planted in plots as part of the forest restoration process.
