The commercial names for lumber represent commercial practice in the United States and Canada. A dagger (†) indicates names recognized under the American Lumber
Standard. The designation (north) identifies Canadian lumber exported to the United States. An asterisk (*) indicates a commercial name applied only when the included
species are harvested in Canada.
The official common names conform to the Check List of Native and Naturalized Trees of the United States (including Alaska), Agriculture Handbook No. 41, 1953, and
are sometimes used as names for lumber. In addition to the official common name for a species, the Check List also lists other names by which the species and the lumber
produced from it are sometimes designated. Names unique to Canada are shown in parentheses.
Black ash is known commercially in some consuming centers as brown ash, and is also sometimes designated as such in specifications.
Usually designated either as red gum or as sap gum, as the case may be, or as gum or sweetgum if unselected for color.
