Michelia champaca, though belongs to a premitive plant group, is not ceased to serve us. Its a common avenue tree (at least in Bangalore) with graceful canopy, cool foliage and fragrant flowers. Flowers are offered to God during prayers and are also medicinal in addition to their use in perfume industries. As Yazdy ji described it feeds birds diversity too. I have seen the wild populations in Kolli hills (TN), in a place called as 'Shenbaga thoppu' meaning 'Grove of Michelia champaca'. It has been included in the Red Listed Plant category and a medicinal plants conservation area has been established by FRLHT & Forest department for the protection of wild population of this graceful tree.
