A valuable timber tree ; the wood is whitish, soon becoming pale bay in colour, 

 durable and easy to work. 



The specimens on which Chevalier bases his new species C. alba are, according 

 to his description, young trees without flower or fruit ; the description of the 

 leaves suggests young plants of C. excelsa. 



Doubtful Species.
