Wood hard and heavy, red when fresh cut, becoming dirty-reddish- 
white or whitish-brown; pores large, scattered, surrounded by patches 
of lighter-colored softer tissue ; pith-rays very fine and obscure, concentric 
rings broken up into short wavy pieces. Apt to split in drying, but 
considered good for planks, beams, and other hard work, for water

Nephelium mutabile Bl. Pulasan (M.).

Other species of Nephelium are also used. The wood of Euphoria, 
Nephelium , Litchi, and possibly some other genera, is so closely related 
that I can not distinguish it by the structure.
