Tallest Tree in the Tropics (Probably)
This yellow meranti tree (its base shown here) was recently discovered in Malaysia and thought to be the tallest tree in the tropics. Researchers spotted the enormous yellow meranti (Shorea faguetiana), extending 293.6 feet (89.5 meters) above the forest floor, on the northern part of the island of Borneo, where they were conducting reconnaissance flights to assess local biodiversity.
