SUMMARY
It is a large deciduous tree with a straight clean cylindrical bole and a spreading crown of dark green leaves.
This species is used in Burma as a source of lacquer used for producing varnish, waterproof or preservative paint, glue, ceramic and lacquer ware. Timber (known as Borneo rosewood) is used for furniture and inlay work.
Both tree's sap and sawdust can cause dermatitis and skin irritation. It is an endangered species.
