The Malabar black varnish tree is a deciduous tree of the cashew family, endemic to the Western Ghats of Kerala and Karnataka. Its sap turns black on exposure to air and contains urushiol compounds that can cause strong skin reactions.
In Kerala folk practice the bark and fruit have been used in limited external preparations. The plant is poisonous and is used only after classical purification under qualified supervision.
