I used to see this tree on my way to the neighbouring village. It was quite a non descriptive tree, with grey bark and gnarled trunk. It was only yesterday that my gardener told me that the Baheda tree was in full bloom.
The tree is festooned with light yellow flowers. It is beseiged by bees , clamouring for the nectar. There are scores of little birds too, feasting on the nectar.
The Baheda,
Bellarica myrabolan, is a native Indian tree, prized for its medicinal properties. The honey scentedd flowers are very attractive. Villagers think that this tree is inhabited by demons, and so they leave it undisturbed. The fruit of the Baheda is used in the Rasayana treatment by Ayurveda practitioners. It is also used for tanning.
