FOXWORTHY. 
The East Indian rosewood is the product of Dalbergia latifolia Eoxb. 
and Dalbergia sissoo Eoxb. (See p. 465.) Another of the Indian 
rosewoods is the padauk, Burmese rosewood or narra , which is the 
product of Pterocarpus in dims Willd. and other species of Pterocarpus. 
The rosewood of the Seychelles is Thespesia populnea Corr. (See 
p. 499.) In some portions of India a certain species of Millettia is said 
to furnish small amounts of rosewood. Cordia myxa L., a small tree 
of tropical Asia and Australia, is said to furnish small amounts of rose- 
wood. The Borneo rosewood or renghas is a beautiful red- and purple- 
streaked wood, which makes beautiful furniture. It is the product of 
various species of Melanorrhoea and Swintonia. (See p. 489.) 
The woods known as kingwood or violet wood are special kinds of 
rosewood, probably from species of Dalbergia and best known under these 
names, from Madagascar and South America.

SANDALWOOD. 
The white or }^ellow sandalwood is produced by Santalum album of 
India and Malaya. Other related species and genera in Australia furnish 
very good substitutes for it. The sandalwood of the Fiji Islands is 
produced by Santalum freycinetianum Gaud, and other species. 
Exocarpus latifolia E. Br. which is said to produce a sandalwood in 
Australia extends as far north as the Philippines; but it is usually of 
very small size here and I have not known it to produce sandalwood. 
The name chandana or sandana seems to be very generally used to 
indicate various kinds of sandalwood; but it is probable that the name 
is also applied to other woods which are more or less odorous. In the 
Philippines, the term sandana is known and is said to indicate an 
odorous wood ; but, thus far, I have been unable to definitely find sandal- 
wood produced in the Islands. In British Forth Borneo the term is 
also found, but sandalwood is surely very rare, if it occurs there at all. 
The red sandalwood or red sanders of India is the product of Pter- 
ocarpus santalinus- L., and Adenanthera pavonina L. 
Dysoxylum loureiri Pierre ( Epicharis loureiri Pierre) and Lepidaglaia 
baillioni Pierre ( Epicharis baillioni Pierre) are two species of melia- 
ceous wood growing in Cochin China and forming large trees, the timber 
of which is used for ornament, while the oil derived from it is used 
for medicinal purposes. When rubbed or burnt it emits an odor of 
sandalwood, on which account it is employed as incense in the temples.

In India, sandalwood is largely used in the manufacture of boxes, 
fans, and other ornamental articles of inlaid work, and to a limited 
extent in medicine as a domestic remedy for all kinds of pains and 
aches. The oil is largely used as a perfume, few native attars or essen- 
tial oils being free from admixture with it. In the form of powder or
