The plant Caesalpinia bonduc (L.) Roxb. is highly medicinal, beside many other uses it is commonly used in malaria, various types of fevers, piles and skin diseases including leprosy. Though the plant is common in hotter parts of India, it is rare in Jharkhand, probably due to very hard nature of seed-coat and non availability of moisture during the dehiscence of fruit.
