Parashorea tomentella is a species of plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. It is endemic to the east coast of Borneo (Sabah and east Kalimantan). It is a large emergent tree, up to 65 m tall, found in lowland dipterocarp forests on fertile clay soils. It is a light hardwood sold under the trade names of White Lauan or White Seraya. It is currently not listed on the IUCN redlist; however, it is likely endangered, given its limited geographical distribution and loss of habitat.[1] It can still be found in forest reserves in the east coast of Sabah.
