Dipterocarpus costulatus is known by locals as Keruing kipas. Keruing is the vernacular name for the genus Dipterocarpus while kipas is the Malay word for fan. The common name of this species is associated with its conspicuous ridged leaves which resemble the corrugated surface of a palm fan commonly used during grilling of satay or a traditional hand-held fan.
This large tree can grow up to 50 m tall and measure about 1.2 m in diameter. It is distributed in Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, Borneo and Sumatra. The leaves are thickly coriaceous and corrugated, while the blade is broadly elliptic (Soepadmo et al., 2004). In Peninsular Malaysia, the species flowers every four to five years, and this occur in the months of June, July, September and October (Ghazoul, 2016). It is globally assessed as Near Threatened in the IUCN Red List.
