The Sanskrit term \*Pita-sála\* is however a synonym of \*Asana\* (\*Terminalia tomentosa\*). I have not found any notice of the Indian kino tree in Sanskrit works. It was probably unknown to the ancients. - [Previous: c5.s10.t7.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.dutt-1877.c5.s10.t7.5) - [Next: c5.s10.t7.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.dutt-1877.c5.s10.t7.7) - [Up: c5.s10.t7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.dutt-1877.c5.s10.t7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.dutt-1877.c5.s10.t7.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.dutt-1877.c5.s10.t7.6) · Pramāṇa
