Soymida febrifuga A. Juss. "Bastard cedar;” “redwood de Coromandel;”

India and Ceylon. 
Sapwood small, whitish ; heartwood extremely hard and close-grained, 
very dark, red-brown, very durable, with numerous tine, concentric lines 
of lighter color, often closely packed. Pores moderate-sized, scanty. 
Pith-rays moderately broad, distinctly visible on a radical section as 
dark shining plates, making, with the sections of the dark pores, a 
very pretty silver grain having a satiny luster. Wood somewhat cross- 
grained, like sell and some others, owing to the fibers in different vertical 
layers going in different directions, so that it is difficult to plane. Very 
hard and heavy. Fine furniture, etc., wood carving in temples.
