It grows in Ceylon, to the north of Kandy, up to 1500 feet. It flowers during the cold season, in January and February. Its trunk is erect, straight, varying in length and thickness, tho largest being 35 feet to the branches, and about 6 feet in circumference. In Coimbatore the specimens sustained 500 lbs. It also grows in Chittagong-. Its timber is esteemed for almost every economical purpose, house-building, shafts, and yokes, is in general use for railway purposes, and it makes very good cabinet furniture. To
wards the centre, it is of a chocolate colour. For house and ship building the natives reckon it superior to every other sort, Pentaptera tomen tosa and teak excepted. Captain Sankey, writing from Nagpur, says it is a white wood with a heart of a dark colour, and somewhat like rose wood. Its average length there is 12 feet, and girth 7 feet. It is so much prized by the natives of Nagpur for axletrees, that but few trees ftre permitted to attain their proper growth. By all accounts, in Nagpur, about 20,000 axletrees are made from this wood yearly. It is attacked by white ants. It ranks high as a rafter timber.— hrs.
