Scholar Tree is an elegant evergreen tree, found in most parts of India. The generic name commemorates the distinguished botanist Prof. C. Alston of Edinburgh, 1685-1760. The species name scholaris refers to the fact that the timber of this tree has traditionally been used to make wooden slates for school children.
