Distributed in: Bangladesh, Burma, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam (Oceania and S.E. Asia)

Distribution overview: Andaman Islands, Thailand, Indo-china, and the Malay Peninsula where it is also planted in villages as a shade tree. It also grows in Chittagong in East Pakistan.

Product sources: Species in the Hopea genus are reported to produce timbers that may fall into one of two groups, referred to by the name of the best known species in that group. The two classes are the Yacals and the Mangachapuys. Timbers in the Yacal class are harder, heavier, stronger, darker (when fresh), more resistant to decay, and more cross-grained. Commercially, the Yacals are reported to include several species of Shorea and of Vatica which produce timbers that are almost identical. The Yacals are the most abundant of the very hard, strong, and durable high-class construction timbers of the Philippine Islands.Apart from timber, the tree is also a source of other non-timber products: the bark yields large amounts of tannin that is especially suitable for curing certain types of leather, the bark itself is used in medicine as an astringent, and the tree produces 'rock dammar'. Powdered resin from the tree is also used as styptic.
