In all the islands; very common in the jungle on flat land behind 
beaches and mangrove-swamps. 
India, Ceylon; Burma; Malaya; Philippines; N. Australia; S.

92. Tamarindus indica Linn. 
Great Coco ; a single large tree on west side of mouth of creek 
opening into Pollok Bay. This tree grows in a place where it could 
hardly have been planted; if planted where it grows it can hardly be 
imagined for what object the position was selected and the tree is obvious¬ 
ly much older than the last attempt at settlement in the island. This bay 
is at certain seasons an anchorage for Burmese junks calling to obtain 
coco-nuts and the introduction of the tree is probably due to a tamar¬ 
ind fruit having been cast overbroad from one of thess junks and thrown 
up by the tide where the tree now grows. 
Throughout the tropics, cultivated; perhaps indigenous in Africa.
