Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, West and Central Java and Borneo (Sarawak and Sabah).
Uses
Quercus lineata is an important source of mempening wood, e.g. for general construction. Perhaps more important is its use to control erosion when planted on steep slopes in montainous regions.
Observations
A medium-sized tree up to 30 m tall, bole up to 80 cm in diameter, with steep buttresses up to 1.2 m high, sometimes suckering, often stilt-rooted, bark surface smooth, grey, inner bark fibrous, cream to reddish-brown; leaves ovate-elliptical to ovate-lanceolate, 5—16 cm 2—6 cm, margin remotely serrulate in the upper half, with 10—23 pairs of secondary veins, midrib raised above, densely appressed pubescent below, tertiary venation obscure; rachis male inflorescence 5—10 cm long, rachis female one 1.5—2 cm long, with 5—6 flowers; cupule cup-shaped, 2—2.5 cm across, with 8—10 lamellae; fruit conical-cylindrical, 2—3 cm 1—2 cm. Quercus lineata is found in lower and upper montane forest on yellow sandy or ultrabasic soils, at 1000—2000(—2500) m altitude. The density of the wood is 815—1100 kg/m3 at 15% moisture content. See also the table on wood properties.
