Murragud 



used for rough purposes and making 

 pounding poles, &c. 



Affords a nice light, shade rapid grower 

 yields a fragrant gum used as in- 

 cense Timber extremely light and 

 good principally used for .planks- 

 cases &c. 



Also called Curkay or Ac^uar. This 

 ^ree affords very dense shade and has 

 ^hitherto been preserved. It is always 

 to be found in the "woodaway" type of 

 Jungle, It is however objected to, on 

 account of the immense amount of 

 surface feeding roots which form an 

 impenetrable -net work entirely pre- 

 venting digging. In process of time 

 -old coffee does suffer both from these 

 roots and from want of culture; but as 

 ;a lateral shader f there could not be a 

 finer tree. 



The timber is used for beams, but seldom 

 for rafters being very hard and cross 

 grained and liable to attack of White- 

 ants. Not used for firewood, as during 

 'combustion, it Demits a profusion of 

 sparks which cause dreadful skin irri- 

 tation, puffed eye-lids and dropsical 

 looking faces. 



A magnificent tree when grown in the 

 Jungle affords excellent shade but 

 is seldom met with ; only one or two 

 trees being found in a large jungle, 



NOTE. The trees of the Ghaut forests are specially omitted 

 being more valued for their timber than for their shade Trees are 

 often known by different names in different Talooks. The distinc- 

 tions drawn may be erroneous, and it is well to consider such as 

 purely local, and in no waj Botanically correct.
