List of Shorea species explained

This is a complete listing of Shorea species as accepted in Plants of the World Online as of July 2019. The subgeneric classification follows Ashton (2004) and covers only species native to northern Borneo, with some Sri Lankan species added. The timber groups classified according to the system proposed by Symington in the early 1940s.

Based on phylogenomic analyses showing that genus Shorea sensu Ashton (1982) is polyphyletic, in 2022 Ashton and Heckenhauer proposed reviving the former genera Doona Thwaites, Pentacme A.DC., and Richetia F.Heim, and raising Shorea section Anthoshorea to genus rank.^[1] Plants of the World Online currently recognizes Anthoshorea, Doona, and Pentacme as separate genera.^[2]
