The multi-coloured bark starts smooth, later becoming cracked and flaky. The leathery to papery leaves are ovate to obovate. The inflorescences bear pink flowers.[3]
Shorea scaberrima has been assessed as near threatened on the IUCN Red List. It is threatened by land conversion for plantations. It is also threatened by logging for its timber, including the construction of logging roads. Shorea scaberrima does occur in a number of protected areas, but only in Sarawak.[1]
