Description of the Woods in the Collection. 71 



Uses, Qualities, etc. " Decays rapidly and is subject to attack 

 by insects, and could only be used for inside boarding and such- 

 like. Is very common in logs up to 40 ft. in length, squaring 

 18-20 ins." (2). Saws easily. Fissile, takes nails badly; planer 

 and turns easily and well ; polishes indifferently. Of little, if any, 

 export value. "Used for canoes" (17a). Easily confused with 

 Burada, No. 13, and Yellow Cirouaballi, No. 18, on account of 

 the similarity in colour.

 are straight, not avoiding the Pores. The Rings are not defined. 



Radial Section. The Pores are darker than the ground. The 

 Rays are readily visible, small, brownish flakes. 



Type Specimens. Authenticated by Bell, No. 69/2725

Alternative Names. " Pakoorie, Wild Mammee j^pple " (2) f 

 (?) Parcouri (5). 



Salient Features. A reddish-white to light brown wood, of 

 medium weight and hardness. The colour is in streaks. The 

 structure in Transverse Section is unusually plain. 



Physical Characters. Weight (so far recorded), 61 Ibs. per 

 cubic ft. Hardness, Grade 4, hard; compare Yew. Smell or 

 taste 0. Heartwood sharply defined from the Sapwood; surface 

 matt to bright; darkens but little on exposure to the air. Sapwood 

 oatmeal colour; width about 3 ins. 



Bark. About f in. thick, hard. Inner layer about J in. thick, 

 brown and woody. Outer layer scaling (with scales clearly marked 

 off in vertical section) ; irregularly fissured ; full of hard, whitish 

 bodies in regular concentric layers. Surface of log beneath bark, 

 striated or smooth. 



Uses, Qualities, etc. " Scarce 60 ft., squaring up to 20 ins. 

 used as a furniture wood " (2). Saws moderately hard; firm. 

 Fissile, takes nails badly ; planes well and easily ; turns moderately 

 hard and badly; polishes indifferently. Of little, if any, value 

 for export. Sometimes confused with Irriariadanni, No. 42, on 

 account of the similarity in colour and structure.
