PETALING JAYA: Many of Malaysia’s dipterocarp forests are undergoing mass flowering at the moment, with a “mosaic” of colours observed in the canopy of many rainforests.
The Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) said that it is a unique phenomenon that usually occurs intermittently but sometimes may see intervals of many years.
“The synchronous flowering and its amazing display of beautiful scenes in many hues amidst the green sea of rainforest is a sight to behold,” it said in a Facebook post.
Dipterocarpaceae are a family of plants that are tall and grand trees with distinctive formations, and which are rich in species diversity spread across tropical regions.
