Anthill burl (Schleichera oleosa) is a deciduous and semi-evergreen tree up to 40 m tall with a spreading crown. Its native to India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and northern Southeast Asia. The name of the genus honours the apothecary and botanist Johann Christoph Schleicher (1768-1834). The tree also serves as a host plant for the lacquer scale insect. Shellac is extracted from this inconspicuous little animal, or rather from its excretions, which is used in many different areas of life.
The wood with its attractive colouring, which ranges from a delicate light brown to a reddish dark brown, is classified as hard and heavy and is generally considered to be quite durable. It is rather difficult to work, but can be planed to a smooth surface. Anthill burl is used in tool handles, house construction, musical instruments and other areas.
