Shorea parvifolia

Shorea parvifolia is a species of tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae, commonly known as light red meranti and white lauan.

Shorea parvifolia develops into a large forest tree up to 65 m (210 ft) tall with a wide crown.

However the saplings are shade tolerant, and after thirty years, Shorea parvifolia and Pentace laxiflora dominate the other tree species.

It is typically used for panelling, joinery, light carpentry, furniture, plywood, crates, boxes, veneers and other purposes.

It is under threat from selective logging of the best trees, which may reduce the genetic diversity of the population, and from clearance of forests to make way for palm oil and other plantations.
