Anisoptera scaphula is a species of plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. It is found in Bangladesh, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam.[1]

Anisoptera scaphula is a tall tree, reaching a height of 30–45 m and a girth of 3–4.5 m. The trunk is prominently buttressed. It occurs on almost flat areas, on undulating land and in valleys at elevations between sea level and 700 m, and is shade tolerant in youth. Its timber is used for general light construction.[2]
