Chinaberry. Deciduous tree of the family Sapindales. Also known as Ochi, the ancient name Afuchi (also appeared in Pillow Soshi). Swallowtails gather on the flowers. The leaves are often used as medicinal plants because they have a strong insecticidal effect. It is also used as high-class furniture (Mindy wood) with beautiful wood grain.
It is different from the "Sendan is better than Futaba" Sendan. The saying goes, sandalwood is native to India.
冬になると、雌株には穂状花序に丸い赤い実が多数付く。一つの実の大きさは5ミリ程度。
