Nageia motleyi (Parl.) De Laub.

Tree to 54 m high. Leaves 3-5(-7.5) by 1.5-2.2 (-2.8) cm, 1.5-3 times as long as broad; petiole 2-3 mm. Pollen cones solitary and sessile in the leaf axils, 15-20 by 5-6 mm. Apex of microsporophylls lanceolate to acuminate, at least 2 mm long. Seed-bearing structure solitary on a scaly 2-5 mm peduncle. Receptacle with 5-9 sterile, spreading, slightly enlarged bracts, 8-12 mm long before becoming ripe and fleshy. Seed with its covering 13-16 mm diam.

Scattered in primary and secondary rainforest, from very low altitude (15 m) to c. 500 m. It occurs on slopes and hills on dry soil, but also in Borneo in two different situations: in Sarawak it is collected on deep peat in a mixed ramm-peat swamp, but also on ridges and hillsides in bindang-dipterocarp forest and at Lawas at 1000 m on pod-solic sandy loam.

Can be grown by cuttings or seedlings.
