 Darjeeling, are given as 211, H75, 7^<> and /UK) caibic IVd respectively; the third of 

 these had a mean girih ol' 12 I'.-ct an<l a length of 80 feet, while the second had a girth 

 of 20 feet. It is easily propagated from seed, but the seeds being very small and light, 

 the seed-beds must be sheltered till the seedlings have well eomo on. It also coppices 

 freely. The leaves are used to teed cat'le, and the llowers yield a red or yellow dye 

 (Gulnari). The bark is astringent and gives a resinous gum, it is also used as a 

 febrifuge.
