WOODS. 



Remarks. Abundant in all the coast jungles, and also above the 

 Ghiits ; and the wood is very valuable for building and other purposes. 

 There is much confusion regarding the botanical synonymes of this tree, 

 which I have not been ame to unravel, and consequently "the native names, 

 except the local, are omitted.

 Syzygiuna Jambolanum. W. et A.

 JAMBOOL. 



Vernacular. See " Fruits and Vegetables." 



Remarks. Found in the Ghats and Concan forests. Being a fruit tree 

 it should not perhaps be catalogued here ; but its wood, like that of the 

 Jaca (Phuuus, Dec.), is so much used on account of its excellence, that 

 as in the case of the latter, exception must be made to the rule which 

 would exclude it. The wood of S. salicifolium, Wall. Pan-jambool is 

 also used, according to Dalzell, for rafters in this Presidency ; but Dr. 

 Gibson does not mention it. Dr. Gibson states that the wood of S. cary- 

 ojrfiyltKum, Gsert. Rat-jambool, is equal to JAMBOOL, but it is only found 

 south of the Savitree. Metrosideros vera, produces the IRON-WOOD of 

 China; and Eucalyptus resinifera, the RED GUM-WOOD j and 2?. 

 the BLUE GUM-WOOD of Australia.
