“ The great clusters of flowers appear in May and June, and the 
seed ripens in August, has on the Sutlej the smell of the pencil-cedar 
when fresh cut, at times said to have a strong fetid smell. The wood 
is lighter-coloured and more open in the grain than that of the Toona, 
but much like it in appearance. The hoops of sieves are made of it, it 
is also used for bridges. Shoots and leaves are lopped for cattle- 
fodder.” (Brandis 1. c.)
