 On 14 August 2007, a team of Malaysian climbers successfully ascended Batu Lawi.The vegetation on the female peak of Batu Lawi is classed as mountain heath, with low shrubs of "Rhododendron" and "Callophyllum", ground herbs, ferns, orchids and carnivorous pitcher plants ("Nepenthes" species) that include "Nepenthes lowii".Many of the species present are also found on the summit of Gunung Murud, Sarawak's highest mountain, but are endemic to Borneo—that is, found nowhere else on the planet.
