s. f, ee (Quercus Ilex, Q. Baloot, Nat. Ord. Cupuliferæ) common in part of the arid tracts of most of the Panjab rivers. It is also abundant on the Eastern skirts of the Suleman Range, Trans Indus. Ploughs and handles are at times made of its wood, but it is not much valued, and is mostly used for fuel; a considerable part of that used in the station of Peshawar is furnished by it. The leaves being very prickly, the branches are employed for fences, and the leaves are sometimes used for winter fodder. The fruit is said to be a favourite food of the laṇgúr monkey (Presbytes Entellus).
