PHILIPPINE WOODS.

Masbate and a Flacourtia from Zambales. The structure described by 
Yidal for this wood would seem to be more that of one of the two just 
mentioned than of a Terminalia. The structure here described is that 
of Nauclea m&teriai, but the Flacourtia is very much like it.

niture ; ordinary construction ; posts for houses or in contact with the 
ground ; siding ; shipbuilding ; telegraph poles ; window sills.

CALANTAS. 
Toona spp. Fam. MELLACE/E. 
This includes the Philippine material which has been credited to Ce- 
drela Toona Poxb. and Cedrela . odorata Blanco. 
Alarn (Mindoro) ; balongcamit (B.) ; calantas (T.) ; cantingen (II.) ; 
dampia (I.); danigga (Cag.); danupia (Cag.) ; lanigpa (V.) ; porac 
(II.) ; taratara (T.) ; saggued (Palanan, Isabela) ; sandana (V.). 
Light and very soft. Sp. gr. 0.438. 
Sapwood a narrow rim of very pale reddish color; heartwood darker. 
Coarse and straight grained ; occasionally a tree is found with a good burl. 
The burl is always in demand for furniture. 
Distinct, cedary odor. Seasonal rings distinct, Eing porous. 
Uses . — Cigar boxes ; small boats ; furniture ; cabinetmaking ; pattern 
making; carving; bancas; ceiling; doors; partitions; sides of guitars. 
This is the best and in fact nearly the only wood used for cigar boxes 
in the Islands. 
Structure . — Pith-rays fine but distinct. Yessels large, in spring wood, 
gradually becoming smaller toward outer part of ring. Wood paren- 
chyma not prominent. Yessels with reddish deposits. 
This wood is much like lumbayao, and red lauan. It may be distin- 
guished from the former by its very light weight and the more distinct 
seasonal rings, and from the latter by the seasonal rings and the cedary 
odor.
