It is a beautiful tree to watch when in full bloom. A medium sized tree (10-15m) grows throughout India and reach to 1500m elevation in Uttarakhand. Called as *Sandan* in Uttarakhand and wood is used for making wooden containers for churning curd. A fine fodder tree too. Often on steep slopes roots exposed to air develop new individuals (root suckers) which flowers even in younger stage looking as a shrub in flowering. The species is found in India, Nepal and Pakistan. And it is not a rare species. DSRawat Pantnagar
