Parashorea malaanonan is a species of plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae.[3] it is found in the Philippines and the northeast coast of Sabah in Borneo. The name malaanonan is derived from Tagalog (mala = false and anonang = custard apple) and is a putative vernacular name for this species. It is a large emergent tree, up to 60 m, found in mixed dipterocarp forests on deep friable clay soils.[2] It can still be found in forest reserves in the east coast of Sabah although elsewhere it is threatened by habitat loss.[1] The timber is a light hardwood sold under the trade name of white lauan or white seraya.
