Parashorea tomentella is a species of plant in the Dipterocarpaceae family. 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, likely to be endangered due to it limited distribution and loss of habitat[1]. It can still be found in forest reserves in the east coast of Sabah.
