Abstract
The purpose of this portion of the PASA obligation is to present previously published information on the tree and wood characteristics of selected secondary species growing in seven tropical countries. The format is concise and follows the outline developed for the second edition of the "Handbook of Hardwoods" published by HMSO, London. Species selected for review are well known in the source countries, but make up a very small component, if any, of their export trade. The reasons why these species play a secondary role in the timber harvest are discussed in the other accompanying PASA reports
