Castanopsis clemensii is a large evergreen forest tree from Borneo, related to chestnuts and oaks, that can reach 30 m tall. It is a wild forest species rather than a garden or houseplant, so care advice is limited to what suits a tropical tree.
Castanopsis clemensii is a tree in the family Fagaceae. It is named for the American chaplain and plant collector Joseph Clemens.
Castanopsis clemensii is endemic to Borneo. Its habitat is lower montane forests to 1,300 m (4,300 ft) elevation.
