PHILIPPINE SPECIES OE TERMINALIA. 



Thus far the Philippine species of Terminalia have not been sufficiently 

 understood to make it possible to work out their structure with anything 

 like completeness. Most of our Philippine species belong to the section 

 Catappa. Our species in this section are T. catappa L., T. pcllucida 

 Presl, T. nitens Presl, T. edulis Blanco, T. ellipsoidea Merr.. and V. 

 mollis Rolfe; in the section Diptera we have T. calamansanay Rolfe. 



Some of these woods are known under the names of Talisay (Phil. 

 Woods 303), ccUumpit (Phil. Woods 380), dalinsi (Phil. Woods 381), 

 and sacat, Plate XXIX. fig. 88, (Card. 58; Phil. Woods 392). I'ntil 

 the specific limits are better known, it will he difficull to do anything 



with the Structure of these woods. 



Besides these, there is a Terminalia furnishing a Aery good wood 

 known as bingas, dinglas, or lasila (Terminalia comintana (Blco.) Men-.). 

 This wood is dark-gray with purple markings. It is hard and moderately 

 heavy, durable, works readily and is used for structural work and for 

 furniture. It \s sometimes sold under the name of baiitinan, and it is 

 so line grained that it is sometimes u<cd as a substitute for molave 

 ( Vitex littoralis I tone.).

Pores small to moderate-sized, often arranged in more or less con- 

 spicuous concentric belts, or else in short strings. Pith-rays fine and 

 numerous. 



Eucalyptus. r l nis very large genus is mainly confined to Australia, 

 hut it produces such quantities of wood and if is so extensively handled 

 that it is a prominent factor in all eastern markets. Certain species have
