kaattu paala

[Dr. Hari Venkatesh.K.Rajaraman]

Thanks for the post Deepak ji... Nice photographs of the plant & fruits... the flowers are very similar to Tabernaemontana divaricata, used medicinally in similar conditions. 

the drug seems to be Tabernaemontana heyneana (Ervatamia heyneana), Apocynaceae... A source of Nandi Vruksha in Ayurveda... The Bark of this plant is an excellent source of medicine in fevers. Called as "Maddarasa" in Tulu Language, which means King of all medicines.
