Through the warmer months it bears big, fragrant, creamy-white flowers that open at night, followed by woody capsules packed with winged seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is grown across the sub-Himalayan tract, the north-east and moist parts of central and southern India as a handsome avenue and shade tree; the broad leaves are traditionally used as leaf-plates, while the light, even-grained timber is worked into planks and packing cases and the flowers and bark have folk-medicinal uses.
