Castanopsis curtisii King
- Family: Fagaceae
Vernacular names
- Malaysia: berangan jantan.
Distribution
C. curtisii occurs only in Peninsular Malaysia (Selangor, Penang).
Uses
The bark may be used for tanning.
Observations
A tree up to 20 m tall with trunk up to 30 cm in diameter. The bark of an old tree was found to contain ca. 16% tannin on dry weight basis. The species is found in lowland forest up to 300 m altitude. The prospects as source of tanbark are limited since it occurs only very locally, and it is not common. The bark of other Castanopsis species also may be used for tanning.
