 100 miles above the old town of Tenasserim, in evergreen forest. A tree with hard 

 brown heart-wood which has an unpleasant smell when felled green, while the 

 heart-wood of trees which have died naturally and have lain a long time in the forest 

 gradually becomes scented, and is an article of export from Mergui. In structure 

 the wood somewhat resembles Sandal wood, the medullary rays are narrow, but they 

 are long, not short (as in Sandal) on a transverse section, the vessels are more 

 numerous, smaller and often in radial groups of 2-4, the distance between 

 med. rays is a little greater than the diameter of vessels. There are narrow 

 oblique tangential lines of wood parenchyma between the rays, but they are less 

 conspicuous than in Sandal. The structure is quite different from that of Cordia 

 fragrantissima. See Brandis in Ind. For. XXVII. 516. L, elongate-elliptic, base
