I stumbled across this post while searching for engkabang bintang. The star-shaped fruit in your photo is really interesting - they don't look like typical dipterocarp fruit, which is round. Very unusual - are they really engkabang?

i saw it being sold in a local Tamu. the vendor told me the name as "engkabang bintang", which i first heard.
i've tried search up and down in Google, but no further info on the item.
Local ppl should know more about the specimen.

I was searching for engkabang bintang - that's how I came across your post. The latin name is Shorea splendida, and you're right - can't find much info on this. Thank you for sharing :-)

i saw this in internet
http://www.itto.int/files/itto_project_db_input/2111/Technical/pd16-96-3%20rev4%20%28F%29%20e_Identification%20Manual%20of%20Shorea%20spp_E.pdf

it has the photo and description of S.splendida.
the fruit seems like a typical Shorea.

the engkabang bintang in my post doesnt really botanically fit the morphology of a Shorea fruit.
