A large tree, very abundant in the hill forests of Cuddapah and North Arcot, and also found in the Mudumullay forests, Anamallays, 

 Wynaad, Mysore, &c. In the Cuddapah and North Arcot districts it is well known under the name of Jallari (Tel.), but the tree does not appear 

 to be generally knovm in the other localities ; its timber is very useful for house building, pannels of doors and various other purposes, and has a 

 ready sale in the Cuddapah district, and is largely imported into Madras. A species of Lac is procured from the tree.
