Shorea submontana is a large rainforest tree from the Dipterocarpaceae family, endemic to Peninsular Malaysia and found mainly in submontane forest. It is a forest timber tree that is not grown as an ornamental, so home-garden care is largely theoretical.
Shorea submontana is a species of tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae. It is endemic to Peninsular Malaysia. It grows in tropical rain forest, ranging from 300 to 1,000 metres elevation. It is most common in submontane forest at about 800 metres in the inland ranges, around the upper limits of Rubroshorea curtisii (seraya) forest.
