"Red Silk Cotton Tree"
[attachment=3182]
Silk cotton trees comprise three to eight species of flowering plants in the genus Bombax, native to tropical southern Asia, northern Australia and tropical Africa. Other names include semul, simul, simal, red cotton trees or Indian kapok trees.
[attachment=3184] [attachment=3185] [attachment=3186]
Silk cotton trees are among the largest trees in their regions, reaching 30-40 m tall and up to 3 m trunk diameter. The leaves are dry-season deciduous, 30-50 cm across, palmate, with 5-9 leaflets. They bear red flowers between January and March, which mature into small husks containing a fibre, similar to cotton, though with shorter fibres than cotton.

Ashoke
Its principal constituents are a steroid component and a calcium salt...The bark of Saraca indica contains the estrogenic compound ketosterol...The bark has a stimulating effect on the endometrium and ovarian tissue, is useful in menorrhagia due to uterine fibroids, in leucorrhea and in internal bleeding, where ergot is indicated...It is well established for its effectiveness in menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea...It also has a stimulatory effect on the ovarian tissue and may produce an oestrogen-like effect that enhances the repair of the endometrium and stops bleeding. Used in Evecare (MenstriCare), Menosan.
There are numerous legends around the Ashoka which is sacred to Hindus and Buddhists...It is believed that when Sita was kept confined in a garden in Lanka by Ravana, and when Hanuman met her, Sita was sitting under an Ashoka tree...It is there that Hanuman showed to her Rama's ring and brought to her the message of hope and victory from Rama...The name of this flower is interesting...Its common name in India is 'Ashoka', and its spiritual name, as give by the Mother, is 'without grief', both of which mean the same thing...There are not many flowers which have this striking harmony in their names...
