Calocedrus decurrens
"Calocedrus decurrens" is the main wood used to make wooden pencils and is also used for cupboards and chests. In China, cypress wood known as "baimu" or "bomu", was carved into furniture, using notably "Cupressus funebris", and particularly in tropical areas, Fujian cypress and the aromatic wood of "Glyptostrobus pensilis". Native Americans and early European explorers used "Thuja" leaves as a cure for scurvy. Distillation of "Fokienia" roots produces an essential oil called pemou oil used in medicine and cosmetics.
