A checklist of wild fruit trees in Pelangai Forest Reserve, Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan was provided. Data collection was carried out around the forest trail randomly. A total of 19 species within 13 genera and 10 families of wild fruit trees were recorded. Three families, namely Clusiaceae, Fabaceae and Phyllanthaceae had the largest number of species, with three species each. The common species include Artocarpus lanceifolius, Baccaurea parviflora, Lepisanthes senegalensis and Microcos fibrocarpa. The total number of wild fruit tree species in this forest can be considered low for a lowland dipterocarp forest that had been logged. However, the maintenance and conservation of wild fruit trees are important as food resources for frugivores which inhabit this logged-over forest.
