Lithocarpus meijeri is a large forest tree from Borneo in the beech and oak family, reaching up to 40 metres tall in the wild. It is a rainforest timber and landscape species, not a common garden or houseplant, so care here means conditions for a tree in the wild tropics.
Lithocarpus meijeri is a tree in the beech family Fagaceae. It is native to Borneo.
The species was first described by Engkik Soepadmo in 1970. It is named for the Dutch botanist Willem Meijer.
Lithocarpus meijeri is native to Borneo, with some unconfirmed collections on Sumatra. It grows in primary hill mixed dipterocarp rain forest, including kerangas forest, often on steep hillsides, up to 1,100 m (4,000 ft) elevation.
