GEBCO: discoverer and year of discovery (en): Discoverer: Research vessel "Teknik Perdana". Year of discovery: 2007. History: Named from the chengal tree (neobalanocarpus), a monotypic genus of plants in the family dipterocarpaceae. This is a tropical hardwood tree, particularly appropriate for making boats. Chengal trees can grow over 60 metres high, with a straight, unbranched trunk, averaging 90 cm in diameter and with prominent supporting buttresses. It is widespread in mixed dipterocarp forests, growing to altitudes up to 1000 metres (3300 ft), preferring soils that are friable and well-drained land. |
