in Macao, urbe Sinici Imperii, quae haud pridem Lusitanis suberat, hisce dicta est arbor indigena, quod colore, pondere ac duritie ferrum durissimum aequet, imo nec aquis supernatet, sed subsidat: unde instrumenta quaequeve ad perpetuitatem praebet. Eiusdem generis arbores ingentes visuntur in Chaoking, prope Teking, in monte Caoleang. Auctor Anonym. Sinae et Eur. c. 34.
