🔶 Custom Fields
I have been thinking about this tree for the last one week. I pass by it almost everyday while travelling in the bus. The uniqueness of the flowers caught my eye. This tree was standing out from the rest of the fellow trees in colour due to the blooming flowers. So I walked today for approx. 3 km just to have a glimpse of this very interesting tree. Leaning towards an abandoned building (architecture of British era) among the tall standing trees it marked its place as no.45. It seemed as if this old building and the tree, which both seem to misfit their surroundings are giving company to each other through good and bad times.
Very useful tree since ancient times. Bark is known to have antipyretic properties. Used in treating gastric and urinary problems. Fresh leaves used for topical treatment of swellings and Rheumatoid joints. Edible fruits. Leaves used as fodder. Wood used for making drums and writing tables.
