Abstract

Cordia crenata Delile, belonging to family Ehretiaceae had earlier been regarded as a rare and endemic tree, being reported only from Ajmer (Rajasthan) throughout India. Outside India C. crenata has been reported only as a cultivated tree in Egypt. A recent survey of South Rajasthan and parts of Gujarat state undertaken by the authors has revealed the occurrence of C. crenata at many places in good numbers.  Hence, C. crenata is no more a rare and an endemic tree.
