"The Useful Plants of India" {a CSIR Publication] gives two listings
for Devadaru/Devataru. One is Cedrus Deodara and the other is
Erythroxylum monogynum [ Red cedar, Bastard Sandal]. The leaves are
said to be edible and the oil resembling the fragrance of Sandalwood.
Since the Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam names given for this is
Devadaru, I guess this must be the Devadaru of the South.Would anyone have more details of this tree? Regards, Devi.
