Cordia myxa L. locally known as Gonda,
Lasora or lehsua belongs to family Boraginaceae. It
grows throughout India except in high hills and
temperate climates. This is a perennial, medium sized
tree with crooked stem. It bears small sized fruits in
bunches, used as traditional vegetable and pickles.
Besides, it has number of other uses including medicine,
fuel wood and ornamental wood work. Due to its
drought tolerance ability, it is abundantly found in arid
and semi arid regions of North and North West India.
Its cultivation as planned orchards is limited and only
scanty information about various aspects of the species
is available. This paper therefore, deals with synthesised
information on its distribution, taxonomy, traditional
knowledge and experimental findings on
diversity, propagation, improvement and utilization.
The information on production and consumption may
open new vistas in dietary supplement, thus opening a
new window of commercial opportunity in arid and
semi arid regions of India and isoclimatic regions of the
world.
