Anthoshorea agami
Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
Anthoshorea agami, synonym Shorea agami, is a species of plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. The species is named after J. Agama a one time forest officier in the Sabah Forestry Department.
Anthoshorea agami is endemic to Borneo. It is an emergent tree, up to 50 m tall. It grows in mixed dipterocarp forest on well-drained sandy clay soils and clay-rich soils,[1] up to 700 meters elevation.[2] It is a light hardwood sold under the trade names of white meranti.[2][3] A. agami is found in at least three protected areas (Kabilli-Sepilok Forest Reserve, Lambir & Gunung Mulu National Parks), but is threatened elsewhere due to habitat loss.[2]
Peter Shaw Ashton recognised two subspecies, subsp. agamii and subsp diminuta,[1] which are now considered synonyms.[4] The subspecies name diminuta is derived from Latin (diminutus = made small) and refers to the smaller leaves of this subspecies.
