Hopea brevipetiolaris is a rare tree from Sri Lanka's southwest, found on rocky summits in remnant lowland rain forest. It is not a common cultivated plant, so there is little horticultural guidance; care notes below are general guidance for Hopea trees in tropical conditions.
Hopea brevipetiolaris is a species of flowering plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. It is a tree endemic to Sri Lanka. It is native to southwestern Sri Lanka, where it grows on rocky summits in remnant lowland semi-evergreen rain forest. Two subpopulations are known, the larger at the summit of Dunkanda in Kurunegala District and a small number of trees on Dombagaskanda in Kalutara District.
