Pterophylla clemensiae, formerly known as Weinmannia clemensiae, is a species of plant in the family Cunoniaceae. It is endemic to Borneo.[2] It is a tree or treelet growing up to 10 metres tall.[1]
Pterophylla clemensiae is native to Mount Kinabalu and Mount Tambuyukon in Kinabalu Park in Sabah, Malaysia. It has a restricted range, with an estimated area of occupancy (AOO) of 32 km2 and extent of occurrence (EOO) of 120 km2.[1]
It grows in open-canopied dwarf upper montane forests on soils formed from ultramafic rock between 1,500 and 2,700 metres elevation. It is relatively abundant in its specialized habitat.[1]
