East Deccan dry evergreen forests remaining forests are now characterized by areas of leathery-leaved evergreen forest, with a relatively low (10-meter) closed canopy. Predominant species are "Manilkara hexandra", "Mimusops elengi", Ceylon ebony ("Diospyros ebenum"), strychnine tree ("Strychnos nux-vomica"), "Eugenia" spp., "Drypetes sepiaria", and "Flacourtia indica".
