Shorea exelliptica is a species of plant in the Dipterocarpaceae family. This species has previously been confused with Shorea elliptica and the species name is derived to highlight this point (ex = excluded from).
It is an emergent tree, up to 60 metres (200 ft) tall, found in mixed dipterocarp forest on yellow clay and sandy clay soils on sedimentary rock.[1] S. exelliptica is found in Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo. It is found in at least two protected areas (Lambir Hills and Gunung Mulu National Parks).[1]
