Gmelina arborea, known by various names including Gumhar, Kashmir Teak, and Teca Blanca, is a fast-growing deciduous tree found throughout India, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and southern provinces of China. The root and bark of the tree have many medicinal benefits including improving appetite, relieving abdominal pains, and boosting lactation in nursing mothers. The tree is commonly planted in gardens, avenues, and village community lands. Gmelina arborea timber is highly sought after for its strength, durability, and resistance to decay and termites. It is used in constructions, furniture, musical instruments, sports, and artificial limbs. The tree's leaves are also a good source of protein for cattle. Gmelina arborea was used to create the Lion Throne, one of the eight royal thrones of Myanmar. With its versatile uses and many benefits, Gmelina arborea is an excellent choice for both landscaping and woodworking.
