''Haplophragma sulfureum'' is a tree in the Bignoniaceae family, found in four countries of Southeast Asia. The pods are used as tinder, while the wood is used for light construction and traditional medicine. Description The species grows as a 8 to 20m tall tree. It possesses long "sword-shaped" seed pods. Diameter of the trunk measured at the standard breast height is 10.4 cm for a 6.6m tall specimen. The root system grows some 60 to 70 cm deep. The wood density is some 5.21g cm−3. The wood anatomy of the tree is consistent with the variety of traits in the Bignoniaceae. In ''Heterophragma sulfureum'' the following traits are present: diffuse solitary vessels; parenchyma marking growth rings; simple perforation plates; scanty paratracheal axial parenchyma; parenchyma are 3-4 cells per strand, 2-4-seriate short rays (<1mm), homo-heterocellular with 1 row of upright marginal cells; the vessel-ray pitting is similar to intervessel pits; septate fibres are present; cryst ...
