"The fruits of the myrobalan contain one of the best tanning substances in 

 the world. Large quantities of myrobalans are exported from India to Eng- 

 land, and it is believed that the cultivation of these trees, of which there are 

 evidently several species, may be a lucrative one in parts of California. The 

 tree is known to be a drought-resistant species and suited to extremely hot 

 climates. Some of the species are trees and, consequently, may withstand the 

 slight cold to which they Avill be subjected in California." {Falrchild. )
