"Hopea" is a genus of plant in family Dipterocarpaceae. The genus was named after John Hope, 1725-1786, the first Regius Keeper of the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh. It contains about 104 species, distributed from Sri Lanka and southern India to southern China, and southward throughout Malesia to New Guinea. They are mainly main and subcanopy trees of lowland rainforest [Ashton, P.S. Dipterocarpaceae. In "Tree Flora of Sabah and Sarawak," Volume 5, 2004. Soepadmo, E., Saw, L.G. and Chung, R.C.K. eds.
