Hopea is a genus of about 114 tropical trees in the Dipterocarp family, mainly canopy and understory trees of lowland rainforest across South and Southeast Asia. Most are not grown as garden or houseplants, so care advice applies mainly to the few species planted in tropical landscapes.
Hopea is a genus of plants in the family Dipterocarpaceae. It contains some 114 species, distributed from Sri Lanka and southern India to the Andaman Islands, Myanmar, southern China, and southward throughout Malesia to New Guinea. They are mainly main and subcanopy trees of lowland rainforest, but some species can become also emergent trees, such as Hopea nutans.
The genus was named after John Hope, the first Regius Keeper of the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh.
