Cinnamomum tamala, Indian bay leaf, also known as tejpat,[3] tejapatta, Malabar leaf, Indian bark,[3] Indian cassia,[3] or malabathrum, is a tree in the family Lauraceae that is native to India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, and China.[3] It can grow up to 20 m (66 ft) tall.[4] Its leaves have a clove-like aroma with a hint of peppery taste; they are used for culinary and medicinal purposes. It is thought to have been one of the major sources of the medicinal plant leaves known in classic and medieval times as malabathrum (or malobathrum).[5]
