Roundleaf Axlewood is an endemic and rare tree of
the Thar Desert. Leaves are obovate to round, on pendulous branches.
Flowers are yellowish, born in tight clusters.
Wood of this tree is hard enough to be used in making agricultural
appliances, carts, etc. In addition, it is also a valuable
source of fuel and fodder. Being a large, beautiful tree, it has the
potential to be used as an avenue tree. Its distribution, however, is
limited and its population is declining rapidly.
