Hopea iriana
Hopea iriana is a large canopy tree up to 40 metres tall, native to the lowland and hill evergreen rain forests of New Guinea and rarely grown as a plant outside its range. It is a timber tree rather than a garden or houseplant, and it is not practical to grow outside a wet tropical climate.
