Intsia palembanica is a high-value tropical hardwood species of the family Leguminosae. A total of 16 microsatellite markers were developed for this important timber species using an enrichment approach. These markers were screened on 24 samples from a natural population and subsequently tested for reproducibility, ease of scoring and locus-specificity, across five populations. The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.026 to 0.976 and 0.026 to 0.928, respectively, while the mean number of alleles per locus per population was 8.73. These microsatellite markers are informative and will be useful for conservation genetic study, individual identification and timber tracking.
