Common on the hanks of rivpis, streams and dry -watercourses in Central India and 

 South Behai, in the Peninsula and Ceylon. Here and there m the Subhinialayan tract 

 (Kangra, D.B. 1868). Not in east and central Bengal nor in Burma. Foresters readily 

 distinguish these two species by their bark, their mode of growth and by their habitat. 

 Botanists (Fl. Brit. Ind. ii. 448, Trimen Handb. Ceylon ii. 161) are doubtful regarding 

 them.
