A very large tree with big spreading crown. Bark rather 

 thick and easily stripped off. 



An abundant species, generally gregarious, and often cover- 

 ing considerable areas of forest. In the Western Province it 

 occurs near Avisawella, Badureliya, Hewissa, and Labugama. 

 In Sabaragamuwa it is plentiful in nearly all the wet forests, 

 but is rarely found above 2,500 feet.

 being light, easily worked, and handsome. It is quite 

 unsuitable for any permanent work, but is sometimes passed 

 off by dishonest contractors for Doona zeylanica.
