Pongamia Pinnata Plant is normally planted along the highways, roads, and canals to stop soil erosion. Billions of trees exist all over India. If the seeds fallen along the roadside are collected, and oil is extracted at village level expellers, thousands of tons of oil will be available for Lighting the Lamps in the rural area. It is the best oil for lighting. Since these are spread over a large area, the collection of seeds for BioDiesel manufacture is not viable. (A compact plantation can support a BioDiesel plant).
Pongamia Pinnata is called as Koroch in Bangladesh. There, it is a freshwater flooded plant/tree. The seedlings of Koroch can survive in 1.5 meters deep water submergence/inundation for five to six months duration at a stretch. There is nearly 30,000 square km of water reservoirs in India. This tree can be cultivated in such water storage reservoirs up to 1.5 meters depth and reap additional economic value from unused reservoir lands.
Pongamia Pinnata is one of the few nitrogen fixing trees to produce seeds containing 30 to 32% oil. It is often planted as an ornamental and shade tree. This species is commonly called Pongam, Karanj, or a derivation of these names.
Botany:
Pongamia (Leguminoceae, subfamily Papilionoideae) is a medium-sized tree. The trunk is generally short with thick branches spreading into a dense hemispherical crown of dark green leaves. The bark is thin gray to grayish-brown, and yellow on the inside. The taproot is thick and long, lateral roots are numerous and well developed.

Uses:
Uses as food: The nuts are edible, taste like almonds and are eaten, although the flesh is troublesome to separate from the hard stone (Malays and some Pacific Islanders). Unlike the commercial almond, the Sea Almond can be eaten raw. Oil extracted from the dried nuts is edible and used in cooking (South America).
Other uses: Its timber is not widely used, but in some places where another suitable timber is lacking (e.g., islands), it is made into heavy-duty items like carts, wheels, and posts. Tannin and a black dye can be extracted from the bark, leaves, and fruit. In Singapore, it is a common wayside tree, planted to provide color and shade.
Traditional Medicinal uses:
Leaves, bark, and fruits: dysentery (Southeast Asia); dressing of rheumatic joints (Indonesia, India).
Fruits and bark: coughs (Samoa), asthma (Mexico).
Fruits: leprosy, headaches (India),
Ripe fruits: travel nausea (Mexico)
Leaves: get rid of intestinal parasites (Philippines); treat eye problems, rheumatism, wounds (Samoa); stop bleeding during teeth extraction (Mexico), fallen leaves used to treat liver diseases (Taiwan), young leaves for colic (South America).
Juice of leaves: scabies, skin diseases, leprosy (India, Pakistan)
Bark: throat and mouth problems, stomach upsets and diarrhea (Samoa); fever, dysentery (Brazil).
Modern research has identified some properties which could be used to treat high blood pressure.
Role in the habitat: Various species of biting and stinging ants have been found inhabiting hollow twigs of the tree. While the tree provides these creatures with a home, the ants, in turn, may protect the tree from insect predators. Fruit bats eat the husk of the fruit.

Ficus religiosa is scientific name of Pimpal.The leaves of this tree move continuously even when the air around is still and no perceptible wind is blowing. This phenomenon can be explained due to the long leaf stalk and the broad leaf structure. However, religious minded people in Hindu/Buddhist religion attribute this movement of the leaves to the fact that "devas" or "gods" reside on these leaves and make it move continuously. This fact is also mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita as a verse "O Ashvatha.
The Ficus religiosa tree is considered sacred by the followers of Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism. In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna says, "I am the Peepal tree among the trees, Narada among the sages, Chitraaratha among the Gandharvas, And sage Kapila among the Siddhas.
