C'UPULIFER/L. 
There are two genera of this order represented here Quercus 
Oaks, Berangan babi of the Malays, and Castanopsis chestnuts 
“ Berangan ”, all are fairly large sometimes very large trees. 
Quercus. 
The timber of the oaks as Gamble points out may be classified 
in two groups. In the first all the medullary rays are very fine 
and numerous, in the second there are two kinds of rays, very fine 
ones, and very broad conspicuous ones, which in a vertical section 
show as broad bars, producing the appearance commonly known 
as silver grain. The timbers of the first class are superior to those 
of the latter, though the silver grained timbers are much more 
beautiful. Most of our common oaks here belong to the second class.
