Prain, lx. 173, distinguishes three forms, the typical one with ovate- 
lanceolate cuneate leaflets and orbicular pods, Perak and Malacca 
[Native name: Sepan), and two forms to which he gives respectively 
the names of papan and burong. These being Malay words cannot 
be used in place of Latin. The first form has elliptic leaflets round 
at base, the second oblong leaflets and clavate pods. The foliage 
varies considerably in these trees, and I think the varieties are 
hardly worth keeping up; Keranji papan is a name given to laurinum, 
as well as to platysepalum. The word means planks, this tree 
being specially valued for timber. Keranji burong, Bird Kranji, 
is also used for D. Maingayi. D. platysepalum is also known as 
Keranji Tembaga and Sakeilet (said to be a perversion of scarlet) 
and refers to the coppery underside of the leaves.
