About

Lithocarpus revolutus is a tree in the beech family Fagaceae. It is native to Borneo and Peninsular Thailand.

The species was first formally described by Engkik Soepadmo in 1970. The name is derived from the way in which the margins of the leaves are typically rolled in upon themselves (revolute). Trees in genus Lithocarpus are commonly known as the stone oaks and differ from Quercus primarily because they produce insect-pollinated flowers.

Where it grows

Lithocarpus revolutus is native to Peninsular Thailand and western Borneo. It is a large tree native to primarily lowland mixed dipterocarp rain forests, kerangas forests, and lower montane forests from 50 to 1,800 metres elevation.
