Madhuri ji: thanks but the question was meant for someone else,
outside of eflora.... mistakenly went to eflora...
Gurucharanji: sorry, it was a conversation with someone else... that
some how got mixed up and got sent it in not realizing it went to
eflora... I have removed my message, so that this thread is not
messed up...
These cones I know as Cedar of Lebanon, though I understand the three
cedars... of Lebanon, of the Himalayas and of altas/morocco have very
similar anatomy... though their outlines may be different...
I would never joke about Debdaru... its an important medicinal wood...
for making Kwath and for its oil distillation...
