English term or phrase: Pud Wood
"Made from Tropical Pud Wood from Thailand. The wood is believed by the indigenous Thai population to bring good luck and fortune."

Am at a complete loss as to what this could be and no reference to any such kind of trees.

Any help greatly appreciated !

Thanks !

"Psydrax dicoccos is a species of flowering plant in the Rubiaceae family. It is found from southeast China to tropical Asia.
Botany
Commonly known as 'Ceylon box wood' or 'malakafe', it is an unarmed, smooth shrub 3 to 4 meters or more in height. Leaves are extremely variable, ovate, elliptic, ovate or somewhat rounded, 5 to 15 centimeters long, 1.5 to 10 centimeters wide, leathery, shining above, and usually pointed at both ends. Flowers are white, with very slender stalks, 5 to 10 millimeters long, and borne in compressed, short-stalked cymes. Calyx is cut off at the end or obscurely toothed. Corolla is bell-shaped, with a 4- to 6-millimeter tube, and five somewhat pointed lobes. Fruit is rounded, ellipsoid or obovoid, 6 to 10 millimeters long, slightly flattened and obscurely 2-lobed."
