Casearia graveolens is a species of tree in the family Salicaceae, native to an area in Asia from Thailand to South Central China to Pakistan.

Its trunk, with dark-grey rough, fissured bark with white specks, grows to a dbh of 20 cm when the tree is between 3-6 m. The green, smooth branches have grey-white patches, with glabrous branchlets, twig tips and terminal buds.

The young leaves are very chartaceous, and turn blackish-green when dry, with the pellucid brown streaks and dots clearly visible at low magnification.

Tertiary leaf veins are finely reticulate, while the stem is purplish-grey with conspicuous lenticels, white.

The tree is very common in valleys and ravines with subtropical forest in southern India and the Western Ghats.

Only the Kondh and Gadaba villages used the trees trunk in furniture and construction and only the Bonda people used the fruit as a vegetable.

In the Surguja district of Chhattisgarh, east-central India, people use the plant to produce types of beer.
