Shorea agamii is a species of plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. The species is named after J. Agama a one time forest officier in the Sabah Forestry Department. Two subspecies are recognised subsp. agamii and subsp diminuta.[2] The subspecies name diminuta is derived from Latin (diminutus = made small) and refers to the smaller leaves of this subspecies.
Shorea agamii is endemic to Borneo. It is an emergent tree, up to 50 m tall. It grows in mixed dipterocarp forest on well-drained sandy clay soils and clay-rich soils,[2] up to 700 meters elevation.[1] It is a light hardwood sold under the trade names of white meranti. The species is incorrectly listed in the IUCN redlist as Shorea agami.[1][3]S. agamii subsp. agamii is found in at least three protected areas (Kabilli-Sepilok Forest Reserve, Lambir & Gunung Mulu National Parks), but is threatened elsewhere due to habitat loss.
