BUTTER TREE
BASSIA LATIFOLIA ROXB.
Bassia latifolia is synonymous to Madhuca indica, popularly known as mahua in India. It is a large handsome tree which may reach a height of 12 to 15 metres. The trunk of the tree is rather short with many spreading branches which provide excellent shade. The leaves are elliptic-oblong in shape. The cream coloured flowers which turn purplish when fully matured and ready to drop are formed in dense fascicles near the ends of the branches. The dry flowers which are brown in colour are sweet and can be eaten. In some parts of India, the tribal folk prepare a local liquor which has a very strong smell. During marriage ceremonies and festivals this liquor is consumed by young and old alike.
