Hi,
I have an Alstonia scholaris in front of my house. Out of curiosity I wanted to
know if someone has any idea what the cultural roots of the Alstonia scholaris
tree being called 'Devil's tree' is? It is also called a Yakshi tree etc. why
so much association with the supernatural? Any information on this? I know it
is also called the scholar's tree because its wood is used to make scholarly
furniture like reading tables etc.
Regards,
Sanjeev
