The rest of the reserve's forest is secondary, including areas populated by pioneer species. It is an important area for tree species including, in upland areas of the reserve, "Schima wallichii", "Dipterocarpus confertus", "Shorea atrinervosa", "Shorea argentifolia" and "Shorea agamii". The reserve is also home to "Anisoptera", "Dipterocarpus", "Dryobalanops", "Hopea", "Parashorea", "Polyalthia", "Shorea", "Syzygium" and "Vatica" species.
