Movingui

Movingui’s light yellow to yellow-brown heartwood cannot be clearly distinguished from the 20-30 mm thick pale yellow, sometimes grey-yellow sapwood. Some trunks have an attractive marking. Often a yellowish constituent can be found in the vessels which can cause marking in damp conditions.
