The Pongam Tree (Pongamia glabra), also called the Indian Beech tree is a one stop pharmacy. The small, fragrant flowers are in bloom from January to March and are rich in nutrients and are used as compost. The bark is used to make twine and the fruits, sprouts, seeds are used in traditional remedies. Juices and oil from the plant are antiseptic and resistant to pests. Oil made from the seeds, known as 'honge oil', has been used as lamp oil, in soap making, and as a lubricant for thousands of years. The canopy is dense and the tree has historically been planted on roadsides for shade. The tree is a sight to behold, with a beautiful shade of green, when it sports a first flush of leaves. It is locally known as the 'Honge Mara' and attracts several butterflies like the Common Crow and Blue Tiger. less
