 regu, yalachi or jtlachi, zi, etc. The cultivated form is known as ptwandi, pmdi 

 or pemdi-ber, the wild form being jharberi (Duthie, Fl. Upper Gang. Plain, 1903, 

 163). The grafted bcr is called poyndi. Burkill (MS. Note* on Tour in Roktak) 

 remarks on four kinds extensively grown, viz. umari, neuuk, pendi and kutia. 

 Lisboa observes of bordi that it is one of the commonest fruit trees of the villages 

 of Western India. A moderate-sued deciduous tree, " distinctly wild in the 

 forests of the Siwaliks and Sub-Himalayan tracts of the Panjab and United 

 Provinces, and also in the Deccan and in Upper Burma and Ceylon in dry 

 forests. Elsewhere mostly cultivated or run wild" (Gamble). 



The bark is said to be used for TANNIN-- m Northern India, Bombay, Madras 

 and Burma. In Chota Nagpur it is similarly empl- .Jong with the 



fruit. Occasionally it is thrown into indigo- vats to aid in precipitating the 

 fecula. Hooper (Agri. Ledg., .1002, No. 1, 20) states that a sample of bark from 

 Madras gave 4-1 per cent, of tannin, and a sample of thick root examined at 

 Dehra Dun gave 2*6 per cent., while some thin roots afforded 9*3 per cent. Moat 

 parts of the tree are employed in Native MEDICINE. The fruit of the wild ftsr, 

 which ripens in the cold weather the cultivated one ali.iost in any season 

 <Collett, Fl. Sim., 1902, 90) resembles the crab-apple in flavour and 

 ance, and is much eaten, as well tut that of most species, by the poorer
