Pores small, numerous, uniformly distributed, more numerous and 

 more closely packed than in Stephegyne pafQifolia* Medullary rays very 

 fine, of uniform width, not prominent, numerous, distinctly visible on a 

 radial section, finer and more uniform in width than those of S.parvi folia. 



Sub-Himalayan tract from the Jumna eastwards, ascending to 3,000 feet, through- 

 out the moister regions of India, Burma. 



The weight and transverse strength have been determined by the following experi- 

 ments : 



The wood seasons well, takes a good polish, and is durable, but somewhat liable to 

 warp and crack. It is good for turning, and is extensively employed in construction, 

 for furniture, agricultural implements, opium boxes, writing tablets, gun-stocks, combs 

 and occasionally for dug-out canoes.

Wood yellowish brown, hard. Pores very numerous, moderate-sized,

 between the closely packed, fine, and uniform medullary rays. 



Chittagong and Burma. 



Weight, according to Brandis' Burma List of 1862, No. 70, 43 to 56 Ibs, ; our 

 specimens give 55 Ibs. as an average of three. The wood is used in Chittagong for 

 building purposes and firewood. In Chittagong it is perhaps the only gregarious tree, 

 being commonly found on ilat places on the banks of rivers.
