General Uses Top

Suggest a correction!

**Industrial and craft applications:**
Timber from *Cratoxylum sumatranum* is utilized locally in Southeast Asia for light construction, furniture components, and general woodworking due to its moderate density and workability. The wood's cellular structure and lignin content are suitable for basic carpentry applications.

**Scientific/model-organism use:**
The chloroplast genome of *Cratoxylum sumatranum* has been sequenced and published for phylogenetic studies within the Hypericaceae family and for comparative genomics research. This resource supports molecular evolution investigations and phylogenetic reconstruction in tropical tree species.

**Properties relevant to use:**
The species exhibits timber-specific characteristics: wood density approximately 500–650 kg/m³ (air-dry) and a lignin content consistent with moderate durability compared to other tropical hardwoods. The sequenced chloroplast genome is approximately 160 kbp in size, enabling standard barcode gene (rbcL, matK) analysis.

No documented uses exist for food/beverage, colorants, bast fiber, gums/resins, or fragrance applications in verifiable sources. References confirming these uses are absent for this exact taxon.
