World's tallest tropical trees discovered in Borneo

Using an airborne laser-tracking system, Stanford University researchers have announced the discovery of fifty of the world's tallest tropical trees in a rainforest on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia. Each tree has a reported height exceeding 90 metres, with one particular specimen reaching 94.1 metres (309 feet). The trees belong to the 'Shorea' group of species, researchers added.
