Cinnamomum verum

Common Name: “True cinnamon”, Sri Lanka, Ceylon cinnamon
Hindi Name: Dalchini
Tamil Name: Channalavangam, KaruvaMalayalam Name: Elavangam, VayanaKannada Name: Dalchini

The fruit are eaten by birds and spread widely, and it has become invasive on Indian and Pacific Ocean islands, especially the Seychelles and Samoa. Once established, it becomes the dominant tree in moist mostly lowland tropical forests, and through competition can gradually affect the species richness of native forest, as the dense canopy shades out all other plants, creating species-poor stands that may cover large areas.. Another species Cinnamomum aromaticum, is less expensive and has a stronger flavor, is often marketed as “cinnamon,” Cinnamomum verum is generally considered to have a more delicate flavor that is more suitable for desserts. The names “cinnamon” and “cassia” cause considerable confusion, as they are often used interchangeably.
