-Evergreen
Leaves remain green all year round due to constant high rainfall throughout the year, thus less dead leaves will be present.

-Drip tips
So as to drain away excess rainwater from preventing the harmful bacteria growing on them.

-Waterproof (waxy)
Allow rainwater to flow off from the surface of the leaves easily, thus preventing the stomata from being blocked, allowing photosynthesis to take place.

-Large and Broad (mesophyll)
Increase and maximise the total surface area for photosynthesis to take place.

-Tannins and other chemicals
The trees produce these chemicals on their leaves to make them hard to digest, therefore undesirable to eat. When chemicals reach the ground by rain, it is poisonous to other plants, keeping plants out of the trees personal space.

Roots
- Buttress roots
Support and stability, allowance of air exchange in water-logged soils, and the capture of leaf litter.

- Air roots
So as to get their nourishment from the air itself, due to the high humidity in the areas

Bark and branches
- Thin and smooth barks
Not needed for protection against cold or dry conditions

- Branches
The branches are grew on the top one-third portion of the trunks so as to get as much sunlight as they can
