Description

ROX172.
In his 'Flora Indica', Roxburgh describes this species as a very large tree, native of most mountainous parts of the coast, Bengal, and frequently cultivated, mainly around Madras, where the sides of the roads are lined with them. It flowers in March and April, when no leaves are present. Roxburgh also notes that the wood of old plants, which is close grained and of adeepmahogany colour toward the centre, is employed for many uses. He then writes: 'This is the tree Dr. Anderson calls 'Wodur' in his miscellanies.'
Roxburgh, 'Flora Indica' (1832) v.2, p.293.
