Pride of India (Lagerstroemia speciosa), known as Jarul, is a medium to large deciduous tree celebrated for its grand panicles of crinkled mauve, pink and purple flowers that crown the canopy through the monsoon. The bold oblong leaves turn red before falling, adding autumn-like colour. Native to tropical Asia including India, Jarul is the state flower of Maharashtra and thrives in warm, moist climates. It serves as a magnificent ornamental, avenue and shade tree, and its leaves are used in traditional medicine. Few flowering trees match its lush summer-monsoon display in tropical landscapes.
