Ratangunj
Scientific Name:
Adenanthera pavoninaRatangunj thrives in well-drained, sandy or loamy soil and full sun. It provides shelter and food for birds and insects, supporting local biodiversity by attracting pollinators and contributing to seed dispersal. The seeds are consumed by wildlife, and in traditional medicine, the seeds and bark are used to treat fever, headaches, and joint pain. Known for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antimicrobial properties, the tree is valued for its medicinal uses, though its seeds must be carefully processed as they can be toxic in large amounts.
