Sterculia colorata, Roxb. Kavshi. 



Does not actually grow within any of the woods, but is found on 

 their outskirts. The trees are leafless when covered with their pecu- 

 liar reddish-brown woolly flowers whose colour is not sufficiently 

 decisive to render the tree at all conspicuous from a distance. The 

 follicles are flat, papery and veined like leaves when ripe, with a yellow 

 seed adhering to each margin.
