Abstract


Leucana glauca is a small tree belonging to Mimisoida having very wide distribution in the tropics. In this Province, it is largely found in the Circars growing in between hedges, fences and in waste lands in black clayey soils. The leaves and seeds form, good fodder and the thick stem and branches are used as fuel. The plant is quick growing and attains a highest of 10-12 feet within three years. It is deep rooted and spreads quickly and responds readily to pruning.
