Description

ROX941. In his 'Flora Indica', Roxburgh describes this species as a tree with a short, straight trunk, and a large, very dense, globular head. According to Roxburgh, this species is a native of China and of the mountainous countries which form the eastern frontier of Bengal. Roxburgh also observes that the wood of this tree, as well as that of 'Scytalia lichi R.', is hard, close-grained and white. Roxburgh, 'Flora Indica' (1832) v.2, p.270.
