Confirmation of natural hybrid of Shorea leprosula and S. Curtisii in Pasir Panjang Forest Reserve, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia

2020

This study established natural interspecific hybridisation in a particularly important tropical timber group, Shorea. A mature putative hybrid of Shorea leprosula and S. curtisii discovered in Pasir Panjang Forest Reserve, Negeri Sembilan showed intermediate morphological features when compared with S. leprosula and S. curtisii. Molecular analyses using PgiC gene region further reinforced the hypothesis of hybridisation between S. leprosula and S. curtisii.
