Butea monosperma

Butea monosperma is a species of Butea, commonly known as the "flame of the forest." It is a tree native to tropical and sub-tropical parts of the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia, spanning across India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Myanmar.

Description

The Butea monosperma is a medium-sized tree, growing up to 15 meters in height. It has a crooked trunk and is usually found with a twisted trunk and branches. The bark is grey and the leaves are pinnate, with three leaflets each. The flowers are bright orange-red in color, which gives the tree its common name, "flame of the forest."

Uses

The Butea monosperma has various uses in traditional medicine, dye production, and as a timber tree. The gum from the tree, known as Butea gum, is used in the treatment of diarrhea and dysentery. The flowers are used to produce a dye for clothing and the wood is used for making utensils and tools.

Cultural Significance

In India, the Butea monosperma is considered a sacred tree and is often planted near temples. The tree and its flowers are also an integral part of many Hindu rituals and festivals, including the festival of Holi.

Conservation Status

The Butea monosperma is not currently considered to be at risk of extinction. However, due to habitat loss and over-exploitation for its timber and gum, the population of the tree is declining in some areas.
