Calotropis

The flowers are fragrant and are often used in making floral tassels in some mainland Southeast Asian cultures.

The seeds are compressed, broadly ovoid, with a tufted micropylar coma of long silky hair.

[3] Pollination is performed by bees (entomophily) by the following mechanism: The stigmas and androecia are fused to form a gynostegium.

[7] The sap is extremely bitter and turns into a gluey coating that is resistant to soap, therefore it has to be treated immediately once it has fallen into the eye.

Using Calotropis for its potential medicinal properties, it's best to consult a qualified healthcare professional who can provide guidance based on your specific health needs and conditions.

The flowers of the plant are offered to the Hindu deities Shiva, Ganesha, Shani Dev and Hanuman.
