The world's tallest tropical tree has been discovered at the heart of the Malaysian Island of Borneo, in the state of Sabah. This record-breaking specimen towers 94.1m (nearly 309ft) and its canopy reaches a diameter of 40.3m (132ft).
In June 2016, a team of scientists had already announced they had found the tallest tropical tree on our planet. The specimen they had recorded – a yellow meranti – reached a height of 89.5m, and was also found in Malaysia.
