axillary, few-flowered: pedicels long: seeds covered with a trans-

medicinal properties of the fruit, especially in dysenteric affections 
are well known. It is the Bel or Bael tree. The astringent rind 
of the fruit is used in dyeing yellow, and the glutinous liquid 
which surrounds the seeds is an excellent addition to mortar, es- 
pecially in building wells.
