| Notes: | Label source: (Sir D Brandis, in Indian Forester Oct 1907) Aromatic wood received from a Burmese gent. residing in London who informed me that it came from Taroy and Mergui, and was known as Kalamets Tangdangyi. In structure and in scent it resembles sa, ndalwood. The scent however is stronger or more pleasant. The medullary rays are fine, consisting of one or two rows of cells, the rags are uniform numerous and equidistant, and the vessels are small only 0.05 mm diam. The tree evidently is closely alli, ed to same sp. The medullary rays which in sandalwood are always short, are much longer in the Burmese wood, and the vessels are not solitary,as in the Indian wood, but often in radial lines of 2 - 5. The colour also is different dark olive brown - contr, asting strongly with the white sapwood. | ||||
