Saurauia minutiflora K. M. Wong

Small-flowered Saurauia (Saurauia minutiflora)

This species was described in 2017; it is a small, only about 3 m tall treelet that is known only from the type locality at the Sungai Berangan River in the Malaysian part of Borneo.

The only known locality has been affected by the development of the hydroelectric dam which led to the degradation of the forest.
