The bidi leaves are obtained from which of the following trees?

  • A.Diospyros melanoxylon
  • B.Acacia nilotica
  • C.Populus deltoides
  • D.Pongamia pinnata

Answer: A

Bidi leaves come from Diospyros melanoxylon, the tendu tree.

Tendu leaves are collected in summer, dried and used to roll tobacco into bidis. Their collection and trade, managed in Madhya Pradesh through cooperative societies, are a major source of income for forest-dwelling people.

Acacia nilotica is babul, a source of gum and tannin; Populus deltoides is poplar, a plantation timber; Pongamia pinnata is karanj, whose seeds give an oil.
