FOX WORTHY. 
Urandra sp. Plate XXV, fig. 47. Bedaru, pedaro (Sarawak) ; daru, daroo- 
daroo (M.). 
Sarawak. 
Wood hard and heavy, fine- and straight-grained. Sapwood narrow, 
yellowish; heartwood somewhat darker. Pores moderate-sized, narrowly 
fringed and containing glistening deposits. Pith-rays medium-sized, 
whitish, very distinct, giving fine grain in quartered material. This 
wood is very durable, works readily and is used for canes, furniture and 
piling. It has a very distinct and pleasing odor. This wood is to be 
found in some quantity in the markets at Singapore and is said to come 
from Sumatra as well as Borneo. Newton credited it to Apodytes , 
another genus of this family, and later it was considered one of the 
Sapotaceae. (See p. 542.) I collected herbarium material and wood 
samples from a tree of this in Sarawak and later obtained material of 
the same wood from dealers in Singapore. My flowering material was 
not mature and I could not be sure of the genus until I received good 
flowering material from Mr. J. C. Moulton, curator of the museum at 
Ivuching. This material establishes the fact that the plant belongs 
to the genus Urandra and probably to an undescribed species.
