Janiy Grewia . 
There are three species called by this name, the Asiatica, the Orien- 
talise and that which I have named Jania. The timber of none of 
them is useful. 
Bill Tali, Bilitalium farinosum , Buch. MSS. 
In the Telinga language this tree is called Tellamalild. It grows to 
a large size, and its timber was said to be good ; but I found it to 
be white, soft, and very perishable. 
Betta Tali, or Betta Tor ary, Bomba x gossyppinum. 
A large tree. Its timber becomes somewhat durable, if kept in 
water for some time after being cut; but without this precaution 
it is little worth. 
Nai, or Gag Nerulu. 
This cannot be of the same genus with the following Nerulu , as it 
has alternate serrated leaves. A large tree, the timber of which is 
much used. 
Rudrashu Nendu, Calyptranthes Jambulana Willd. 
Also much used. This is the tree from whence the Brahmans derive 
the name of this earth. 
Betta Badri, Bignonia chelonoides. 
A small tree ; but its timber makes strong posts and beams 
Wi ullay Badri, Bignonia spathacea. 
Timber little used. 
Namlady, Mail elou, Hort. Mai. V. t. 1. 
A large tree, and durable timber, which takes a polish, and is used 
for furniture, planks, beams, and posts. 
Shivuli , 
A small but good timber tree. 
Topala, Mimosa leucophlea, Roxb. 
Ihe bark, when newly cut, has a strong disagreeable smell, like 
that of the Mimosa Indica, E. M. It grows to be a large tree, and 
produces strong timber for posts and beams. The bark is used by 
the natives in distilling spirit from Jagory .
