--0__=43BBFE5EDF82BD498f9e8a93df938690918c43BBFE5EDF82BD49 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Dear Colleagues I have recently been trying to identify some Podocarp timber from Sumatra which is being imported into New Zealand. The following tree species are reported from Sumatra Dacrydium beccarii Dacrydium elatum Dacrydium xanthandrum Sundacarpus amarus (Syn. Podocarpus amarus) Dacrycarpus cumingii Dacrycarpus imbricatus (Syn. Podocarpus imbricatus) Nageia motleyi (Syn. Podocarpus motleyi) Podocarpus neriifolius Podocarpus polystachyus Nageia wallichianus (Syn. P. wallichianus). Information on anatomy and identification of these trees seems to be lacking. If anyone has any details on these timbers it would help me narrow down the choice. I am also interested in durability as the timber was being sold for decking.
