Dear all,

We collected fruit of Vatica stapfiana from Hutan Simpan Lanchang. At first, I though I found another species of Vatica since its outer skin is very much rough compare to the one from Taman Botani Shah Alam. Based on the shape of the fruit, particularly the middle part of it, I believe that the two are same species - Vatica stapfiana.
