Shorea gibbosa
Also called Yellow Meranti
Richetia gibbosa, also called yellow meranti, is a very large emergent rainforest tree in the dipterocarp family, reaching over 80 metres in the wild. It is a forest timber tree and is not grown as a garden or houseplant, so care guidance is not practical.

It is native to southeastern Sumatra, Borneo, southern Peninsular Malaysia, and Singapore.
