Kamani

Kamani is a Hawaiian name but this plant is commonly called Alexandrian Laurel. It is native from East Africa, southern coastal India to Malesia and Australia. It's difficult to gauge its hardness with respect to other wood species, but it's variously described as strong, durable and medium hard. This tree is traditionally used canoes, but also highly sought-after by wood workers for home construction, decorative crafts and containers.
