This manual comprehensively describes and illustrates 280 of the most important tree species of the primary lowland forests in the Balikpapan - Samarinda area, selected because of their environmental significance or their importance to the timber industry. This book is designed as a first guide to the (primary) forest trees of East Kalimantan, especially meant for foresters, students, botanists, and ecologists. Trees can be identified using features from the stem, leaves, flowers or fruits. The keys have been constructed as user-friendly as possible. The manual gives introductionary chapters, including a glossary, followed by a synoptical key to the families, and a bracketed key to all genera and species. Each species is described in detail including field-and herbarium characters; comments on habitat, ecology, distribution, and lists of common names as well as trade names have been added.
