Hopea myrtifolia is a large rainforest tree from the dipterocarp family, native to Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra, reaching 25 to 40 metres. It is rarely grown outside its native forests and is threatened by logging and forest clearance, so it is not a practical garden or houseplant.
Hopea myrtifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. It is a tree native to Borneo (Kalimantan), Peninsular Malaysia, and Sumatra.
It grows 25 to 40 metres (82 to 130 ft) tall. It is a locally common and gregarious species which grows in lowland dipterocarp rain forest. The species is in decline from habitat fragmentation by commercial timber logging and conversion of forests to oil palm plantations. The IUCN Red List assesses the species as vulnerable.
