Borneo produces several other species of trees, 
including the Tanjan, Meraha, Mirabeau, Panjan, and 
the Kampar. These all attain good building sizes, and, 
judging from the sample logs sent with the Chow, &c., 
to this country, I am inclined to think they would be 
found useful and valuable for constructive purposes. 
the molave tree (Vitexgeniculata*) 
is found in the Philippine Islands, and, judged by the 
parcel of 6 to 8 loads of selected wood imported here 
in 1863 or 1864, is of straight growth and moderate 
dimensions, although, according to Blanco, it is “very 
often crooked.’’
