Definition
A type of tropical tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae, producing large seeds with two wing-like extensions that help them spread through the air.
Etymology
From 'dipter-' (two wings) combined with Greek 'karpos' (fruit), literally describing the two-winged seed structure. These trees are dominant in Southeast Asian rainforests.
Kelly Says
Diptercarps are the 'redwoods of the tropics'—they can grow over 200 feet tall and live for centuries, and their winged seeds flutter down like tiny helicopters to colonize the rainforest canopy!
