| Notes: | Label source: Hiawa grows plentifully in Essequebo in loose sandy soil, its wood is little used as it decays rapidly on exposure to the weather. Like oolu (No51) it has a strong aromatic scent, is light and should be useful for drawers and wardrobe shelv, es. This tree produces the gum known as 'Hiawa' or resin of Conima which is burnt as incense. The average height is about 50 feet and it will square 10 inches. sp.gr. .840 [Catalogue of the Exhibits of British Guiana, Chicago Exhib 1843 Vol II.1. p. 34] (, Icica heptaphylla Aubl. = Protium heptaphyllum March.
