Giam: heavy hardwood, e.g. ''Hopea ferrea'' Lanessan, ''H. forbesii'' (Brandis) v. Slooten, ''H. helferi'' (Dyer) Brandis.
In Indonesia the wood of several species of ''Hopea'' is traded as "balau" because it closely resembles the wood of the heavy species of ''Shorea'' . In Indonesia the name "giam" is used for the wood of ''Cotylelobium'' spp. The wood of ''H. ferrea'' is sometimes traded separately and called "malut".
