NWFP - There are many important non-wood forest products (NWFP) found in the forests e.g. tendu leaves or bidi leaves ("Diospyros melonoxylon"), sal seed ("Shorea robusta"), chebulic myrobolan or harra ("Terminalia chebula"), gum, chironji ("Buchanania lanzan"), flower and seeds of mahua ("Madhuca indica") and flowers, seeds, bark and roots of various plant species. Tendu leaves, sal seed and gums are nationalised forest produce in Madhya Pradesh whereas the other NWFP are non-nationalised. These non-nationalised NWFP can be collected and traded freely. The collection and trade of nationalised forest produce is regulated by the state.
