Source-derived summary

Hopea parvifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. It is a tree endemic to New Guinea. It is native to Central, Morobe, and Milne Bay provinces of Papua New Guinea, where it grows in lowland rain forests, typically near near rivers and below 200 meters elevation.

The species was first described as Anisoptera parvifolia by Otto Warburg in 1891. In 1952 Dirk Fok van Slooten placed the species in genus Hopea as H. parvifolia.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Hopea parvifolia” as species of plant. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Hopea, parvifolia and species.

Editorial reviewUseful for establishing the present vocabulary of the subject while preserving a route back to the evidence on which that vocabulary rests. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1891, 1952—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Hopea, parvifolia and species providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Hopea parvifolia”, the useful work is to connect “species of plant” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q17572509. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1891 and 1952.

Critical limits

A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
