Tribe Dryobalanopseae Baill., Hist. Pl. 4: 210, 213. 1873 –

Type: Dryobalanops C.F.Gaertn.

Emergent or canopy; fibres are with bordered pits; scattered resin canals; solitary vessels; fruit sepal is thickened. The subvalvate sepals in fruit (imbricate at first, after only retaining some traces of imbrication) is a unique characteristic for Dryobalanops . Chromosome number n = 7. Native in W. Malesia.

Note: The name Dryobalanopseae was incorrect and superfluous when published, since it included Dipterocarpus , but it was validly published with the correct name on page 213 and the description on 210, and is available for a tribe containing Dryobalanops and not Dipterocarpus ; see Art. 19 Note 3 of the ICN ( Turland & al., 2018).

One genus: Dryobalanops C.F.Gaertn.
