A tall deciduous tree. Tolerably common, but of 

 small growth at JSTundydroog. In Shimoga, and ' 

 the open Malnad generally, the species attains its 

 full size. "Wood greyish-white, of little value, being 

 soft and very subject to the attacks of insects. Weight, 

 when seasoned, 38 — 48 lb. per cubic foot. Not 

 considered good for fuel, although it is occasionally 

 recommended for that use. M. Yenkatnamappa 

 reports that in Shikarpur the tamburi, vina, and other 

 musical instruments are manufactured from the sea- 

 soned wood. Lovery says it is used for fuel in Shi-

 the hot season, and ripens fruit in July or August. 

 Seeds germinate at about the rate of 50 per cent, 

 Cultivation is easy.
