Anthoshorea agamae

Anthoshorea agami, synonym Shorea agami, is a species of plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. The species is named after J. Agama a one time forest officier in the Sabah Forestry Department. Anthoshorea agami is endemic to Borneo. It is an emergent tree, up to 50 m tall. It grows in mixed dipterocarp forest on well-drained sandy clay soils and clay-rich soils, up to 700 meters elevation. It is a light hardwood sold under the trade names of white meranti. A. agami is found in at least three protected areas (Kabilli-Sepilok Forest Reserve, Lambir & Gunung Mulu National Parks), but is threatened elsewhere due to habitat loss. Peter Shaw Ashton recognised two subspecies, subsp. agamii and subsp diminuta, which are now considered synonyms. The subspecies name diminuta is derived from Latin (diminutus = made small) and refers to the smaller leaves of this subspecies....read more on Wikipedia.
