M AGN OLI ACE2E. 
Wood usually soft and not very durable, even-grained, white, gray, 
yellow or olive-brown. Seasonal rings distinct; pores small, fairly 
regular; pith-rays fine, numerous, regular. Hot a group of much com- 
mercial importance. The wood is usually employed for work of only a 
temporary nature. The best known and generally used species is : 
Michelia champaca L. Plate XXIII, fig. 13. Champaca: tjempaca-kuning 
(M.). 
British India and Burma and cultivated everywhere in the tropics.

Other species are used, but this seems to be the best. 
ANONACEJE. 
This is one of the most sharply marked families in the structure 
of its wood. The pith-rays are moderately large and prominent, and 
they are connected by straight, parallel lines of wood parenchyma, which, 
with the pith-rays, give a distinctly ladder-like appearance to the wood. 
The color is often very light, though it is sometimes dark. The trees 
of this family are not commonly very large and the wood is often not 
very durable; moreover, the individuals are usually of scattered occur- 
rence; consequently the wood is not ordinarily used in structural work 
or where large quantities of timber are required. The following are 
some of the better known Anonacece. 
Canangium odoratum Baill. (Cananga odorata Hook. f. & Th.). Plate
