Millingtonia hortensis L. Sekar-poetih ; potean. 
British India, Burma and Malay Archipelago. 
Wood soft, yellowish- white. Seasonal rings marked by the younger 
wood with few pores and the older wood with rather more numerous ones. 
Pores small, numerous, arranged in light-colored patches which run to- 
gether to form a more or less concentric zigzag pattern. Pith-rays fine, 
the distance between the rays somewhat larger than the transverse di- 
ameter of the pores. Very soft and corky; used for boxes and other 
temporary uses.

larger pores, which are not arranged in bands, but isolated.

Various species of Raclermachera and, possibly, other genera occasionally
