''Synoum'' is a monotypic genus of evergreen tree in the mahogany family, Meliaceae. It is endemic to Australia where it is found along the eastern sub-tropical to tropical coast, usually on the margins of rainforests, in Queensland and New South Wales. The genus was originally described by French naturalist Adrien-Henri de Jussieu in 1830. The only species recognized is ''Synoum glandulosum'', known commonly as Scentless Rosewood. It resembles the related ''Toona'', except that the leaves have 5-9 leaflets, whereas ''Toona'' has 8-20. Its fruit is a reddish three-lobed capsule that contains two or three seeds surrounded by a red aril. Germination from fresh seed is reliable and relatively fast. The timber of Synoum is used in local construction as sawn timber for general house framing, flooring, mouldings and joinery. It is also used for furniture, shop and office fixtures, panelling, turnery, carving, as structural plywood, scaffold planks, wood wool, paper products, particleboard, and medium density fibreboard. ==Gallery== Image:Synoum - bark.jpg|bark on a large Synoum tree Image:Synoum flower buds.JPG|Synoum flower buds Image:Synoum - flowers.jpg|Synoum flowers Image:Synoum - fruit.JPG|Synoum fruit Image:Synoum - large tree base Chatswood west.jpg|base of a 15 metre tall Synoum Image:Synoum - juvenile foliage.jpg|Synoum - juvenile foliage 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Synoum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
