Stemonoporus scalarinervis (Sinhalese: ugadu-hal) is a species of flowering plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. It is a tree endemic to southwestern Sri Lanka, where it grows in lowland evergreen rain forest. It is threatened by timber logging and habitat loss from expanding farms, and the IUCN assesses the species as endangered.[1]
