 leaves pinnate ; leaflets tomentose, capsule 4 to 6-valved, size of an

 an inferior kind of cedar, and, as such, is exported from Malabar.

 The timber is like inferior mahogany, and is much used in Bengal 

 furniture, bedsteads, chairs, &c. The powdered bark, though not 

 bitter, when mixed with a small portion of the powdered seed of 

 Guilandina bonduc, W. and A. ("Sagurgota" of the Marathas), is a 

 good substitute for Peruvian bark in the cure of remitting and inter- 

 mitting fevers, Roxb. ; Wight Ic. t. 161.
