Vatica pentandra P. S. Ashton

(Vatica pentandra)

This species is only known from the type collection that was taken in 1955 at the Belayan River in the East Kalimantan Province of Borneo, Indonesia.

This area is now largely overrun by oil palm plantations, the species wasn’t found in recent surveys and might well be extinct.
