Plant - Dipterocarpus grandiflorus
A young Dipterocarpus grandiflorus tree, looks like its new leafs are pinkish and rolled up.
Am surprised to discover that this is an Endangered Plant, kind of took it for granted as I only took the pics of it thinking the 'rolled up pinkish young leaf' was interesting ... lol
''Dipterocarpus grandiflorus'' is a critically endangered common medium hardwood tree in South-East Asia and India. Its wood is used to produce good quality charcoal, paper pulp, and timber sold under the Keruing designation. Its gum is used locally as a waterproofing varnish. The tree itself is very useful for nitrogen fixing, erosion control, soil improvement, and watershed regulation.
