The fissured bark of a Fragrea fragrans, also known as Tembusu. It is one of the few species of plants native to Singapore and interestingly, is on the back of the Singaporean 5 dollar note. The particular Fragrea fragrans tree on the note can be seen still alive and well at the Singapore Botanic Gardens.
