Plant Description:

- Origin from India to Java.
- Is planted in all large gardens in Maharashtra - often near the tulsi plant.
- Evergreen shrub or tree.
- 5-6 m tall.
- Flowers open towards the evening to night and drop the next morning.
- The fallen flowers look like a decorative carpet has been spread on the floor.
- The branches bend down with the weight of the flowers and buds.
- Wood usually of small calliper.

Growing tips:

- Soil - fertile and having good drainage.
- Widely planted in gardens and temples for its fragrant blooms.
- It is a very popular flowering plant in warm, humid regions.
- Often associated with snakes. The plant has many shoots from soil level and this does provide a good location for snakes to shed their skin. However the plant can be very easily trained to have only one trunk till 4 to 5 feet high and then branching can be allowed. This will definately keep the snakes away.
