This handbook was prepared by Dr. J. H. Kraemer and illustrated by Mr. L. R. Wharten, at the request of the Bureau of Yards and Docks, U.S. Navy. It is intended for the use of personnel engaged in the production of wood construction material in the South China Sea region. The region of the South China Sea extends from 10 S. Lat. to 26 N. Lat. It is a region of luxuriant vegetation but there are spots of severe human overpopulation. Much work has been done on the trees of this region, both botanically and from the standpoint of their management and utilization. This is particularly true in Java, British Borneo, and the Malay States. The attempt was made to include trees of greatest importance, that is, those which occur at the lower elevation near the beaches and along water courses, those which produce wood with desirable characteristics for construction purposes, and those which are widely distributed within the region. Because of the limitations of space, only a small proportion of the trees of the region are described. However the trees to be represented here have been carefully selected with three considerations in mind: 1. Wide distribution throughout the region. 2. Occurrence in locations readily accessible. 3. Production of wood suitable for the wide variety construction needs. The families and genera are arranged following the Engler and Prantl sequence. A brief statement of family characteristics is given for each. Genera descriptions as such are omitted. Species descriptions are brief but include all the available useful information. Local and scientific names are included in the descriptions. The illustrations included in the descriptions include leaves, flowers, and fruit.

As the first botanical history of World War II, Plants Go to War examines military history from the perspective of plant science. From victory gardens to drugs, timber, rubber, and fibers, plants supplied materials with key roles in victory. Vegetables provided the wartime diet both in North America and Europe, where vitamin-rich carrots, cabbages, and potatoes nourished millions. Chicle and cacao provided the chewing gum and chocolate bars in military rations. In England and Germany, herbs replaced pharmaceutical drugs; feverbark was in demand to treat malaria, and penicillin culture used a growth medium made from corn. Rubber was needed for gas masks and barrage balloons, while cotton and hemp provided clothing, canvas, and rope. Timber was used to manufacture Mosquito bombers, and wood gasification and coal replaced petroleum in European vehicles. Lebensraum, the Nazi desire for agricultural land, drove Germans eastward; troops weaponized conifers with shell bursts that caused splintering. Ironically, the Nazis condemned non-native plants, but adopted useful Asian soybeans and Mediterranean herbs. Jungle warfare and camouflage required botanical knowledge, and survival manuals detailed edible plants on Pacific islands. Botanical gardens relocated valuable specimens to safe areas, and while remote locations provided opportunities for field botany, Trees surviving in Hiroshima and Nagasaki live as a symbol of rebirth after vast destruction.
