Description

ROX89. In his 'Flora Indica', Roxburgh describes this species as a large timber tree, native of the mountainous parts of the Circars. It flowers around the beginning of the hot season. Roxburgh also observes that the wood of this tree is used for many different purposes: '...being large, straight, strong, and durable, towards the centre it is chocolate-coloured.' Roxburgh, 'Flora Indica' (1832) v.2, p.282.
