Hopea canarensis Hole described in 1918 and known only by the type collection was collected from the Bhagavathy valley in the Kudremukh region of the Western Ghats India in 1993. It occurs both in the evergreen and pre-montane forests of this region up to an altitude of 1400 m asl. Some additional characters of the species such as presence of buttresses peeling nature of the bark peltate nature of the leaves nature of the stipules smaller calyx lobes with cilia are described.
