Hopea enicosanthoides is a tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae, native to Borneo. The specific epithet enicosanthoides refers to the leaves' resemblance to those of the genus Enicosanthum (now Monoon).[3]
Hopea enicosanthoides grows up to 18 metres (60 ft) tall, with a trunk diameter of up to 20 cm (8 in). It has thin, low buttresses and stilt roots. The bark is smooth. The very large, leathery leaves are oblong and measure up to 46 cm (18 in) long. The nuts are egg-shaped and measure up to 1 cm (0.4 in) long.[3]
