This tree grows in the warmer parts of Ceylon, also in Coimbatore ; common in Cauara and Sunda, is not uncommon in the Dundele forest and in the forests of the South Konkan, is com mon in those of the North Konkan, is said to be very abundant in the Govavery forests, and abundant in Burma. It is found in greatest perfection on the banks of the Sitang in the Karen forests above Tounghoo ; but is also found throughout the Pegu and Tounghoo forests in abundance, more particularly the latter. It is also found along with teak in Thamwaddy and Prome forests. A cubic foot there weighs 70 lbs.; grows in all the valleys and outer ranges of Kamaon. It occurs rarely, wild, in the Siwalik
tract up to the Beas, and on the eastern verge of the Panjab. It produces a red, strong, hard, and heavy wood, which is used to make pestles, spokes for cart-wheels, and other purposes where much strength in small space is required, and as cruithers for sugar, rice, and oil mills, screw rollers for sugar mills, cotton presses, etc., and the axle-trees of carts and ploughs. The seeds yield au oil which is used for burning, and from the young branches a considerable quantity of lac is gathered. The fruit is somethnes quite smooth, but occasionally armed with prickles. It ripens in May, and its pulpy aril is of a very agreeable acid taste. The bark is astringent, and is used rubbed up with oil by the natives to cure the itch.
