D. platysepalum Baker. Keranji Sepan, K. papan 

 K. sekalat, K. tembaga. 



A big tree 50 to 80 feet tall about tour feet or more through, 

 buttressed. 



Leaves about a toot long with 5 or 7 leaftets about 5 inches long 

 dark green above and golden silky beneath, Pods black velvety. 

 It occurs in Malacca and Perak. 



The wood is of a deep mahogany colour with conspicuous waved 

 rings, very fine rays close and numerous, and equally fine concen- 

 tric lines, pores rather large much broader than the rays. 



This is considered the best of the Kranjis and is a very beautiful 

 wood very hard and heavy. Beams 5 to 8 inches square can be 

 had and it is used for house and boat building. Weight 66 lbs. 11 

 ozs. 



D. Wallichii, Prain. 



Is a very similar tree in appearance but the leaves are very much 

 smaller only 2 inches long. It occurs in Singapore and Malacca. 

 And attains a height of about 50 feet and a diameter of about 3 

 feet, the bark is grey, and it has buttresses. 



D. ambiguum, Prain. Kranji Burong. 



This is also closely allied to D. platysepalum and is possibly 

 only a variety. 



In Newton's collection are specimens of Kranji Burong wood 

 in which the texture is more close grained and regular with less con- 

 spicuous rings, and the pores are arranged in short rows parallel 

 to the rays, the concentric lines are broken up also into short pits. 



D. Maingayi, Bak. Kranji Umbut, Kranji Darat. 



Is a tree of 60 or 70 feet tall, the leaves of which are about five 

 inches long with elliptic leaflets narrowed to a point and not 

 golden beneath but green on both sides. 



The timber has well marked concentric lines as broad as the 

 rays, the pores rather large and numerous. 



Weight 18 lbs. 6 ozs. 



D. sp. Kranji Batu. 



A very close grained wood rather lighter coloured, with obscure 

 rings, very numerous pores and no concentric lines. 



This is the Kranji of Howard Newton's paper. He calls it 

 D. indicum, and it is possible it may be D. indum which, however, 

 is a much scarcer tree than the others. It is a very fine hard 

 compact timber. Weight 71 lbs. 10 ozs. 



Saraca. Talan, Gapis. 



There are a number of species of these showy trees scattered 

 over the Peninsula. Some attain a fairly large size, about 30 or 40 

 feet. The wood is moderately heavy, but is poor and useless. 



Cynometra in&qualifolia, Gray. Bulankan, Malankan Katong. 

 A big tree sometimes attaining a height of 200 feet, but usually 

 at least much smaller. Wood hard, strong and durable, heavy, red,
