Michelia
compressa are low-altitude evergreen trees whose leaves
gradually wither, turn red, and fall off throughout the year
rather then falling during a specific season. Their twigs
have ringed stipules on them, their flower buds are covered
with drab hairs, their perianths are yellow, and their mature
fruits have follicles. The pattern of their bark is similar
to the Anguilla marmorata, hence its nickname of "Anguilla
marmorata tree." Michelia compressa are a good source
of fine-textured, high-quality wood, and are ideal for making
cutting boards. |
