D. platysepalum Baker. Keranji Sep an, K. papan 
K. sekalat, K. tembaga. 
A big tree 50 to 80 feet tall about tour feet or more through, 
buttressed. 
Leaves about a toot long with 5 or 7 leaftets about 5 inches long 
dark green above and golden silky beneath, Pods black velvety. 
It occurs in Malacca and Perak. 
The wood is of a deep mahogany colour with conspicuous waved 
rings, very fine rays close and numerous, and equally fine concen- 
tric lines, pores rather large much broader than the rays. 
This is considered the best of the Kranjis and is a very beautiful 
wood very hard and heavy. Beams 5 to 8 inches square can be 
had and it is used for house and boat building. Weight 66 lbs. ii 
ozs. 
D. Wallichii, Prain. 
Is a very similar tree in appearance but the leaves are very much 
smaller only 2 inches long. It occurs in Singapore arid Malacca, 
And attains a height of about 50 feet and a diameter of about 3 
feet, the bark is grey, and it has buttresses. 
D. ambiguum , Prain. Kranji Burong. 
This is also closely allied to D. platysepalum and is possibly 
only a variety. 
In Newton'S collection are specimens of Kranji Burong wood 
in which the texture is more close grained and regular with less con- 
spicuous rings, and the pores are arranged in short rows parallel 
to the rays, the concentric lines are broken up also into short pits. 
D. Maingayi , Bak. Kranji Umbut, Kranji Darat. 
Is a tree of 60 or 70 feet tall, the leaves of which are about five 
inches long with elliptic leaflets narrow T ed to a point and not 
golden beneath but green on both sides. 
The timber has well marked concentric fines as broad as the 
rays, the pores rather large and numerous. 
Weight 18 lbs. 6 ozs. 
D. sp. Kranji Batu. 
A very close grained wood rather lighter coloured, with obscure 
rings, very numerous pores and no concentric lines. 
This is the Kranji of Howard Newton’s paper. He calls it 
D. indicum, and it is possible it may be D. indiim which, however, 
is a much scarcer tree than the others. It is a very fine hard 
compact timber. Weight 71 lbs. 10 ozs. 
Saraca. Talan, Gapis. 
There are a number of species of these showy trees scattered 
over the Peninsula. Some attain a fairly large size, about 30 or 40 
feet. The wood is moderately heavy, but is poor and useless. 
Cynometra ineequalifolia, Gray. Bulankan, Malankan Katong. 
A big tree sometimes attaining a height of 200 feet, but usually 
at least much smaller. Wood hard, strong and durable, heavy, red,
