28 Erythrophleum <strong>for</strong>dii<br />
(KH, VN)<br />
E. <strong>for</strong>dii is listed in <strong>the</strong> Red Data Book <strong>of</strong> Viet Nam. It occurs in <strong>the</strong> north <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> country <strong>and</strong> its common<br />
name is Lim Xanh. Trade in <strong>the</strong> species was reported to take place (VN participants, 2007). The VN<br />
participants (2007) considered E. <strong>for</strong>dii to be a priority species in <strong>the</strong> country <strong>and</strong> proposed carrying out<br />
fur<strong>the</strong>r research on its ecology, distribution, utilisation, planting, <strong>and</strong> conservation status.<br />
The participants from Cambodia had no in<strong>for</strong>mation on <strong>the</strong> species. After <strong>the</strong> workshop <strong>the</strong>y confirmed that<br />
<strong>the</strong>y did not know <strong>of</strong> any Cambodians with knowledge <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> species <strong>and</strong> suggested that no<br />
recommendations should be made <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> species in relation to Cambodia (KH participants, 2007), although<br />
one report (Dy Phon, P. 2000 Plants <strong>use</strong>d in Cambodia. Imprimerie Olympic, Phonm Penh) notes that <strong>the</strong><br />
species has <strong>the</strong> Cambodian common name Tram kang, that it occurs in evergreen <strong>for</strong>est <strong>and</strong> that <strong>the</strong> wood is<br />
very resistant to insects <strong>and</strong> much in dem<strong>and</strong> to make railway short cuts <strong>and</strong> construction.<br />
