The study was conducted in May-June 2015 at HRF-PT REKI, Batanghari District, Jambi. Data were collected by interview and vegetation analysis with sample plot of 2 ha. Result this study showed, D. costulata stand condition in HRF was abnormal. Jelutung tree diameter class is a class at most a diameter of 40 cm - 60 cm by 26 individuals D. costulata can grow in temperature condition 23oC -28oC and soil condition that are very acidic and poor of nutrient. But, species richness around habitat jelutung a relatively high. In conclussion jelutungs of the study could be used to local conservation and management for sustainable used.Keywords: ecology, jelutung, potency]]>
