Structure. — Pith- rays fine and indistinct. Vessels small and scattered. 
Balinhasay is the wood which is most like amuguis in structure. It is, 
however, distinctly lighter in color and weight. 
Other woods of red color are often substituted for amuguis. One local 
merchant has been known to have for sale at one time as many as eight 
different woods under this one name.

ANUBING. 
Artocarpus cumingii Tree. Fam. ARTOCARPACE/E. 
( Artocarpus ovata Blanco.) 
It is quite probable that some of the other species of Artocarpus furnish 
some of this wood. 
Anabiong (V.) ; anobion (Pamp.) ; bayuco (V.) ; ubien (I.). 
Philippines. 
Moderately hard and moderately heavy. Straight grained. 
Seasonal rings distinct. Sapwood white; heartwood greenish-yellow 
to brownish. Very disagreeable taste and slightly disagreeable odor, 
when fresh. 
Uses. — House construction ; posts ; rafters ; railroad ties. 
Structure. — Pith-rays medium size, distinct, white or lighter than the 
surrounding wood. Vessels medium size, scattered, filled with white, 
.glistening, milky deposit and surrounded by a very thin fringe of wood 
parenchyma. 
The wood known as cubi is practically the same as anubing. It may 
come from another species of Artocarpus, but is not distinguished. 
Antipolo ( Artocarpus incisa L. f.) is very much like anubing, but softer. 
The wood known as lanca or nunca comes from Artocarpus integrifolia 
L. f. This wood is softer and more even in texture than anubing and is 
used for the backs and sides of guitars and other stringed instruments. 
The only other wood which might be mistaken for anubing is bati- 
culin; this is whiter, softer and without the white deposits in the vessels.
