This taxon is sometimes treated as a separate entity, sometimes as a synonym of Agathis borneensis Warb. Some synonyms also seem to be associated with either one or Agathis dammara (Lamb.) Rich. et A. Rich. (ex; Agathis celebica, Dammara rumphii).
Due to the fact that taxonomists other than Lamb. & Rich. have called this species A. dammara in the past, some common names apply to both species, especially wood / timber names..

Notes

The literature from and about the Philippines and the Indonesian islands abounds in names applied to various species of Agathis. Most of these names are timber or wood names rather than plant names. It seems however that the difference is often overlooked. We have attempted to match the vernacular to the botanical Latin as much as we could. Eventually we hope to have the indexes looked at closely by native speakers from those parts of the world. We will then attempt to choose some preferred common names for each species...and we will highlight the timber names.
