in 1860-61 with the Chow, Pingow, and Kranji; it is of 
straight growth and very large dimensions, yielding 
timber from 25 to 45 feet in length, and from 12 to 
24 inches square. It has no rich scent like that of the 
camphor wood of India. 
The wood is light red in colour, and has some resem¬ 
blance to Honduras Mahogany ; it is plain, close and 
straight in the grain, moderately hard and tough, and 
nearly as strong as the Pingow. The defects of this 
wood are, a sponginess about the early concentric layers, 
which, combined with the prevalence of star-shake, is 
very detrimental to the quality and usefulness of it; 
on this account it would be most suitable for such con¬ 
versions as admit of its use in the greatest bulk. 
Its employment being thus somewhat restricted, it 
will probably not be esteemed either among engineers 
or builders in this country.
