Schuurmansiella is a monotypic genus of plant in the family Ochnaceae. As of June 2014 [update] The Plant List recognises the single species Schuurmansiella angustifolia. [3] The specific epithet angustifolia is from the Latin meaning "narrow leaf". [2]
Schuurmansiella angustifolia grows as a shrub up to 10 metres (30 ft) tall. The flowers are white with a pink base. The ellipsoid fruits measure up to 0.85 cm (0.3 in) long. [2]
Schuurmansiella angustifolia is endemic to Borneo and confined to western Sarawak. Its habitat is lowland, mainly kerangas, forests from sea-level to 600 metres (2,000 ft) altitude. [2]
