The Tree Flora of Sabah and Sarawak is an account of the families of trees that occur in these two botanically rich Malaysian states situated in the island of Borneo. The Flora provides identification keys and illustrations that grow to a significant size, usually taken as at least 10 cm diameter or 5 m high, although in many cases will be found a complete treatement of all species in a group.
The Project is an endeavour jointly undertaken by the Forest Research Institute Malaysia, the Sabah Forestry Department. At least eight volumes are planned to cover the rich Tree Flora of Sabah and Sarawak.
This is the third volume produced by the Tree Flora of Sabah and Sarawak project. The project started in 1991 and two other volumes so far have been produced covering 54 families and 607 species. This volume covers only four families but with 431 species. The families involved are Fagaceae, Leguminosae, Caesalpinioideae, Moraceae and Myristicaceae. This volume is highly recommended for any botanist working in Borneo or in Malesiana region. It is also book that will be very useful to foresters working in Borneo.
