 Wood dark-brown, mottled, rather light, 

 fibrous but rather close-grained, the 

 heart-wood very hard, takes fine polish.

 matches by matchlock men in India,

 Sap-wood yellowish white, not heavy, rather 

 fibrous and loose- grained, perishable, the 

 heart-wood of old trees only small, very 

 hard, dark coloured and resembling 

 ebony, sometimes beautifully dark red- 

 dish veined. Good for oil-mills, mallets, 

 rice-pounders, also for furniture and in 

 house-building, but difficult to work on 

 account of its hardness. There seem 

 varieties of tamarinds, the one with red- 

 brown to other with whitish timber, but 

 I could not make out this when in Bur- 

 ma. Yields a white resin in small quan- 

 tities.
