Coromandel Ebony or East Indian Ebony (''Diospyros melanoxylon'') is a species of flowering tree in the family ''Ebenaceae'' that is native to India and Sri Lanka and that has a hard, dry bark. Its common name derives from Coromandel, the coast of southeastern India. Locally it is known as ''temburini'' or by its Hindi name ''tendu''. In Odisha and Jharkhand it is known as ''kendu''. The leaves can be wrapped around tobacco to create the Indian ''beedi'', which has outsold conventional cigarettes in India.〔("...bidis command 48 percent of the market while chewing tobacco commands 38 percent and cigarettes 14 percent..." ), "The Tax Treatment of Bidis", tobaccofreeunion.org〕 ==Common Names== *(Oriya) : Kendu *(Bengali) : kend, kendu *(Hindi) : abnus, kendu, tendu, timburni *(Nepali) : abnush, tendu *(Sanskrit) : dirghapatraka *(Tamil) : karai, karundumbi, tumbi, tumbili, தும்பி, தும்பிலி *(Telugu) : tuniki, beedi aaku *(Trade name) : ebony 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Diospyros melanoxylon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
