Urandra sp. Plate XXV, ftg. 47. Bedaru, pedaro (Sarawak); daru, daroo- 

 daroo (M.). 



Sarawak. 



Wood hard and heavy, fine- and straight-grained. Sapwood narrow, 



yellow ish : heartwood somewhat darker. Pores moderate-sized, narrowly 

 fringed and containing glistening deposits. Pith-rays medium-sized, 



whitish, very distinct, giving fine grain in quartered material. 'Phis 

 wood is very durable, works readily and is used for canes, furniture and 

 piling. It has a very distinct and pleasing odor. This wood is to be 

 found in some quantity in the markets at Singapore and is said to come 

 from Sumatra as well as Borneo. Newton credited it to Apodytes, 

 another genus of this family, and later it was considered one of the 

 Sapotaceae. (See p. 542.) 1 collected herbarium material and wood 

 samples from a tree of this in Sarawak and later obtained materia] of 

 the same wood from dealers in Singapore. My flowering material was 

 not mature and I could Dot be sure of the genus until L received good 

 tlow'ering material from Mr. J. C. Moulton, curator of the museum at 

 Kuching. This material establishes the fact that the plant belongs 

 to the genus Urandra and probably to an undescribed species.
