'White dammer' resin is obtained from which tree species in India ?

  • A.Canarium strictum
  • B.Hopea odorata
  • C.Vateria indica
  • D.Shorea robusta

Answer: C

White dammar is obtained from Vateria indica.

Vateria indica, a large tree of the Western Ghats, yields a resin known as white dammar, Indian copal or piney resin, used in varnishes, lacquers and incense.

Canarium strictum yields black dammar, the obvious trap. Shorea robusta (sal) yields sal dammar (ral), and Hopea odorata yields a different dammar.
