The tribals call it Kalyana Sougandikam and told me an interesting story Apparently Panchali ( Droupadi) wanted this flower and send Bheem looking for it. Where he found the flower was also where he faced Hanuman...... and the rest of the story is well known. The fragrance of this flower is something to be experienced, pervades strongly in the forest, greeting you long before you can come close to it. best wishes geetha ps I have exceeded the byte limit. apologies Get perfect Email ID for your Resume.
