Flowering and fruiting phenology play a crucial role in plant reproductive success, often regulated by seasonal climatic cues that establish annual cycles. However, some Southeast Asian tropical forests experience an aseasonal climate with irregular fluctuations, influencing phenological patterns. This study presents a comprehensive phenology dataset collected from 1993 to 2011 in an aseasonal lowland dipterocarp forest at Lambir Hills National Park, Borneo. Observations were conducted biweekly across three sites: The Canopy Biology Plot (CBP), equipped with tree towers and walkways; the Operation Raleigh Tower (ORT) area, featuring a tree tower for tourism; and the Crane Plot, situated between CBP and ORT, where plants were monitored from canopy terraces installed in 2000. The dataset encompasses 172,521 records from 450, 118, and 51 plants at CBP, Crane Plot, and ORT, respectively, representing 303 species. While most recorded plants were trees, the dataset also includes lianas and epiphytes.
