Malaysia. Ashoka tree, local name Tengelan or Tenglan, scientific Saraca sp. The flowers of the Tengland, which often grow on the bole of the tree, are eaten by the two-horned rhinoceros, which seem to appreciate them whenever they come across a tree in flower and the flowers are within their reach. I have never seen where the pods or seeds have been eaten by them, although the rhino is very fond of many jungle fruits and seeds.
