Pterolobium hexapetalum

Pterolobium hexapetalum, the Indian redwing, camp siege or bhoca,[1] is a flowering plant in the legume family, Fabaceae.

It is found from Burma, Bhutan and Bangladesh to southern India, where it occurs up to 1200 m altitude.

They are large scrambling or climbing shrubs that grow commonly in dry deciduous forest, or as pioneer plants in open land.

In springtime their profuse and attractive inflorescences of pinkish white flowers form a mat on tree canopies.

Starting March to April, they present a major source of nectar and pollen, and are foraged on by different species of honey bee.
