reproduces itself in greater abundance. The most typical associates of 
teak in this class of forest are Xylia dolabriformis, Teiminalia tomentosa, 
Acacia Catechu, Sterculia spp., Pterocarpus macrocarpus (padauk), Homa- 
lium tomentosum, Dalbergia cultrata, and many others : on ridges are 
frequently found thitya (Shorea obtusa) and ingyin (Pentacme suavis), the 
forest then being conveniently designated “ semi -indaing” 
(b) Moist forest— The prevailing bamboos vary with locality. 
Throughout the forests of the Pegu Yoma 
(b) Moist upper mixed. and certa i n other tracts the typical bamboo 
of the moist mixed forest is Bambusa polymorpha, with Cephalostachyum 
pergracile in its more luxuriant form. In moister valleys Dendro- 
calamus longispathus is typically found. Elsewhere the bamboos vary, 
those in the northern parts of Upper Burma including Dendrocalamus 
Brandisii, D. Hamiltonii, D. membranaceus, and others. Where the 
moist forest merges into evergreen dense masses of wathabut bamboo 
(Teinostachyum Helferi) cover the ground. < 
Some of the commoner associates of teak in the moist upper mixed 
forests are Xylia dolabriformis (of large size), Lagerstroemia Flos-Regince, 
L. tomentosa, Anogeissus acuminata , Terminalia Chebula, T. pyrifolia, 
T. belerica, Homalium tomentosum, Adina cordifolia, A. sessilifolia, Stephe- 
gyne diversifolia, Vitex glabrata, Eugenia spp,., and many others. 
, 3 . Lower Mixed Deciduous Forests. 
As has been stated above, the lower mixed forests are characterised 
by the absence, or comparative scarcity, of 
II. Lower mixed. bamboos. Teak is found only in the better 
drained areas, and its chief associates are Xylia dolabriformis, Lager- 
stroemia Flos-Regince-, Homalium tomentosum, Dipterocarpus alatus, Benya 
Ammonilla, Terminalia tomentosa, T. pyrifolia, T. belerica, T. Chebula , 
Adina cordifolia, A. sessilifolia, Stephegyne diversifolia, Odina Wodier, 
Spondias mangifera, Eugenia Jambolana, Enolcena Candollei, Careya 
arborea, Vitex glabrata, Dillenia pentagyna, Miliusa velutina, Diospyros 
ehretioides, Kydia calycina, Pterospermum semi-sagittatum, Dalbergia 
cultrata, D. purpurea, Phyllanthus Emblica, Anogeissus acuminata , 
Briedelia retusa, Schleichera trijuga, and many others. 
4. Other Types. 
Although most of the important teak forests in Burma may be brought 
under one of the types sketched above, there are other distinct types,
