The bark is irregularly cracked and the colour of inner bark is pale brown which obscurely laminated (Soepadmo et al., 2004). This species is endemic in Sarawak and Kalimantan (Soepadmo et al., 2004). It occupies in mixed dipterocarp forest, apparently on clay-rich soils especially on igneous rocks, at altitudes below 500 m (Soepadmo et al., 2004). In Sarawak, the species is assessed as Endangered (Julia et al. 2014).
