TIMBER AND TIMBER TREES, [ch. xxv. 
THE MANGALO TREE. 
This is a brown-coloured, porous wood, strong, and 
moderately heavy. It is used for beams in ship-building, 
in carpentry, and in the domestic arts. Judged by the 
specimen, the quality appears to be fair, but little is 
known as to its durability. 
THE PAO-SETIM TREE. 
The wood is bright yellow in colour, with a clean, 
fine, straight grain ; looks as if it would work up well, 
and is chiefly used for the manufacture of small wares. 
THE JACARANDA-CABIUNA TREE. 
This is a dark-coloured, porous, open-grained wood; 
in appearance it somewhat resembles an inferior quality 
of Rosewood. It is of moderate weight, and works up 
well for furniture and for ornamental purposes. 
THE VINHATICO TREE. 
The wood is yellow in colour, light, open-grained, 
and is probably of inferior quality. It appears to be a 
species of Cedar, and is used by the cabinet-maker, and 
for many purposes in carpentry.
