1 have only met with this tree in the hill forests of Cuddapah and North Arcot ; it is a large tree yielding a valuable timber, and is well 

 knovni in those districts under the name of Thambd: it is largely used in house building and for rafters, doorframes and posts, and is exported to 

 Madras — a dammer exudes from the trunk. The Kong of Tinnevelly is not this tree, but belongs to the allied genus Hopea.
