Abstract
The periodicity of leaf change and flowering and fruiting of tropical trees is discussed. Cambial activity patterns in tropical trees are re viewed. Emphasis is put on research undertaken in South-East Asia on t he most important timber tree family in that region, the Dipterocarpac eae. There is an urgent need for more information on the effects of ra infall patterns and phenological periodicity on cambial activity and r ing formation in this family.
