Its seeds are coated in a white waxy tallow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduced from China and grown in parts of India and the hills, it is planted as an ornamental for its vivid autumn colour and light shade, while the vegetable tallow and oil from the seeds are used for candles, soap and industrial purposes.
