'''''Shorea''''' is a [[genus]] of about 196 [[species]] of mainly [[rainforest]] [[trees]] in the [[Family (biology)|family]] [[Dipterocarpaceae]]. The genus is named after Sir John Shore, the Governor-General of the [[British East India Company]], 1793-1798. They are native to southeast [[Asia]], from Northern [[India]] to [[Malaysia]], [[Indonesia]] and the [[Philippines]]. In west [[Malesia]] and the Philippines this genus dominates the skyline of the [[tropical]] [[forest]]s. The tallest documented tropical [[angiosperm]] is a 88.3-metre-tall ''[[Shorea faguetiana]]'' in the [[Tawau Hills National Park]], in [[Sabah]] on the island of [[Borneo]], and in that park at least five other species of the genus have been measured to be over 80 m tall: ''[[Shorea argentifolia|S. argentifolia]]'', ''[[Shorea gibbosa|S. gibbosa]]'', ''[[Shorea johorensis|S. johorensis]]'', ''[[Shorea smithiana|S. smithiana]]'' and ''[[Shorea superba|S. superba]]''<ref>[http://www.nativetreesociety.org/worldtrees/sea_ei/borneo_ii.htm Eastern Native Tree Society]</ref>. Borneo is also the hotspot of ''Shorea'' diversity with 138 species, of which 91 are [[Endemism|endemic]] to the island<ref name = Ashton>Ashton, P.S. Dipterocarpaceae.
