Overview

Tree from S. E. Asia with pinnate leaves and rather inconspicuous clusters of small yellow flowers. The scarlet "Circassian" seeds are lens shaped, about 1/3 inch in diameter, and are used in lei construction. Seeds (8mm bright red, slightly compressed ) used in necklaces, and were once used like Abrus (which has red and black hards seeds) as a standard measureof weight (1 seed c. 4 grains). Adenanthera seeds are twice as heavy as those of Abrus.

The red heartwood is valued for cabinetwork.

According to the Flora of Ceylon (Volume 1) by M .D. Dassanayake, a red dye is obtained from the wood which is used by Brahmins to mark religious symbols on their foreheads. In India, seeds are sometimes hollow out and filled with many minute carved ivory-coloured elephants/ Circassian seeds
