Apta

Scientific Name:

Bauhinia racemose

Apta (Bidi Leaf Tree) thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, with moderate watering requirements. Known for its medicinal properties, the bark is traditionally used to treat dysentery, while the leaves are used for healing ulcers. The tree plays a crucial role in supporting butterfly ecosystems, as its leaves serve as a host plant for certain butterfly species. With its broad leaves and dense foliage, Apta provides shelter for wildlife, enhancing local biodiversity.
