Outside tlie diy zones the teak extends over the peninsuia to the northern slopes of the 
Vindhya Hills, while the Sdl (ßhorea robusta), the most important timber-tree of India 
next to teak, forms extensive forests along the foot of the Himalayas, in the eastern 
part of the Central Provinces, the Rewah territory, and the adjoining districts of Bengal. 
Luxuriant evergreen Vegetation is only met with in the two moist belts, the first extend- 
ing along the Hhnalayan ränge to Burma and Tenasserim, the second along the Western 
coast, and thence to the summit of the ghats. From the Himalaya come the supplies 
of pine and other coniferous trees. The deodar has its eastern limit in Kamaun, but it 
is succeeded by other coniferous trees, one of which, the Pinus Khasiana, extends into 
Burma. The Ficus elastica, yielding caoutchouc, is found along the foot of the Hima 
laya from Sikkim to Assam, and more sparingly at the foot of the Khasia and Cachar 
Hills. In Burma there are extensive forests of Pinus Khasiana on the high moun- 
tains; famous teak forests between the Salwen and Sitang, and the Calcutta magnificent 
evergreen forest Vegetation in the moister valleys, where trees grow to a height of 200 
feet. The Western Ghats are the region of teak and blackwood trees of poon spars and 
of other trees, such as angelly (an Artocarpus), vengay, and irul, yielding excellent 
timber.
