Bamboos, being as a rule light-demanders, are usually 

 absent in the evergreen forest although they are found along 

 open water-courses, in clearings and on the borders of the forest. 

 It is only possible here to mention a very few of the most 

 characteristic and useful trees and genera found in this type of 

 forest as follows : >. 



Tetrameles nudi flora. 



Alstonia scholar is. 



Antiaris toxicaria. 



Chukrasia tabularis. 



Dipterocarpus. 



Diospyros. 



Dysoxylum. 



Canarium. .. . 



Swintonia. 



Sterculia. 



Lagerstrcemia Flos Reginae. 



Mesua ferrea. 



Vitex. 



Cedrela Toona. 



Pterospermum. 



Mangifera indica. 



Calophyllum. 



Myristica. 



Artocarpus. 



Ficus. 



Cinnamomum, 



Aporosa. 



Memecylon. 



Garcima. 



It will be noticed that a few species found in the deciduous 

 forests also extend into the evergreens, such as Cedrela Toona. 



In many places an intermediate type of forest can be more 

 or less clearly distinguished in which many species of the deci- 

 duous forests are found, but where the luxuriance of the vege- 

 tation rather resembles that of the evergreen forests. In such 

 areas trees like Teak, Xylia dolabriformis, Dalbergia latifolia and 

 Terminalia tomentosa are found and there attain large 

 dimensions. 



Among climbers of the evergreen forest many species of 

 Calamus are common, while screw pines and palms are often 

 met with, among the latter Arenga, Caryota, Livistona and 

 Licuala being noticeable.
