FOX WORTHY. 
Barringtonia speciosa Foist. Putat. 
Malay Archipelago. 
Wood like the preceding. A number of species of this genus furnish 
wood of this grade. They are usually known by the name of putat 
and are not of much commercial importance. 
K. & V. 6:4-6; Van Eed. 131; Ridl. 178. 
Careya arborea Roxb. 
India. 
Wood moderately hard; sapwood whitish, large; heartwood dull-red, 
sometimes claret-colored, very dark in old trees, even-grained. Pores 
oval, moderate-sized to large, subdivided, wavy on vertical section. Pith- 
rays numerous, fine, equidistant and uniform; the space between two 
consecutive rays less than the diameter of the pores, around which they 
bend. Across the pith-rays are numerous very fine transverse bars, not 
* easily seen except on a thin section. Durable. Agricultural implements, 
gun-stocks, house-posts, planking, carts, furniture and cabinet work.

Andaman Islands and the Malay Archipelago. 
Wood reddish-brown, with yellow streaks, very hard and very heavy, 
close-grained. Pores moderate-sized and large, often subdivided, in 
rounded and elongated patches, which are sometimes joined by narrow,

ing. The pores are frequently filled up by a yellow substance, and are 
prominent on a vertical section. Seasons well and takes a fine polish.

RHIZOPHORACE2E. 
Hard and usually heavy-wooded trees. Rhizophora, Oeriops, and 
Bruguiera have small pores and equidistant, fine or moderately broad 
rays. The pores are sometimes joined by interrupted concentric bands. 
The structure of Kandelia is different. Carallia and Anisophyllea differ 
by having two classes of medullary rays; short very fine rays between 
the regular broad ones. 
Pith-rays broad, of two classes. 
Wood heavy or very heavy Carallia 
Wood only moderately heavy - . J Gynotroches 
1 Anisophyllea 
Pith-rays fine or moderately broad. 
Pith-rays yellow, contrasting with the rest of the wood Kandelia 
Pith-rays not very different in color from the rest of the wood. 
Wood orange-colored and giving a fluorescent orange-colored aqueous solution.
