Rubroshorea ovalis is a species of flowering plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae.[2] It is a large fast-growing tree, up to 50 meters tall, which is native to Borneo, Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia, and Singapore. It flowers every 3 to 4 years between March and June. Flowers are pollinated by insects and seeds are dispersed by the wind.[1]
It grows in lowland mixed dipterocarp forests on hills and clay soils up to 500 meters elevation. Trees form ectomycorrhizal root associations.[1]
