Tan-mou-chou, the tree; Tchan-keou, the wood (Farges): Paitan, the local; white Chandan, the 
classical name (Cooper): the Тап tree (Henry). In Herb. Kew, Henry notes that the flowers of the 
Тап are white and yellow with some lilac markings inside one of the petals; they are slightly fragrant. 
The wood is used for the hammers of oil-presses and for the handles of tools such as planes and 
hammers; in this it resembles D. ovata, D. Oliveri, and D. latifolia.
