Gilmore, R.C.; Barefoot, A.C. 1974. Evaluation of
some tropical woods imported into the United States from
South America. Forest Products Journal. 24(2):24-28.
Describes machining, gluing, and strength tests on six
groups of tropical woods, exported under the commercial
names of Andiroba (Carapa guianensis), Azafran (Zan-
thoxylum sp.; Cordia sp.), Banak or Ucuuba (Oteophloeum
sp.; Virola sp.), Hura (Hura sp.), Sajo (Campnosperma
panamensis), and Virola (Dialyanthera sp.). Compar-
isons were made with Liriodendron tulipifera. In general,
strength of glue bonds, static bending strength, and tough-
ness decreased with decreasing specific gravity of the wood.

species.

Koehler, A. 1928. Tests on six Argentine woods. Tropical
Woods. 14:15-20. Tests determining the specific gravity,
shrinkage, seasoning qualities, and suitability for veneer
were performed. Six species from Argentina were tested,
including Torresia cearensis, Cedrela fissilis, Piptadenia
macrocarpa, P. communis, Calycophyllum multiflorum, and
Phyllostylon brasiliensis. Piptadenia macrocarpa was noted
as especially promising for veneer production.
