Sal Forest

Sal Forest is a type of forest dominated by a single plant species, the Sal tree. It's classified as a 'Tropical Moist Deciduous Forest.' The topography, geology, and soil conditions all influence the spread of Sal forests. Sal (Shorearobusta) is the second most significant timber tree in the Indian subcontinent (after teak). Meranti wood comes in two varieties: white and red.

Bali Flower

The scent of the Bali Flower (Plumeria blooms) is strongest at night in order to attract sphinx moths to pollinate them. The blooms, on the other hand, do not produce nectar and just deceive pollinators.

Kusum Flower

Kusum is a lovely tree with a broad, shady crown that can be found across the Tropical Himalayas, including India, Ceylon, Burma, Thailand, Indo-China, and Malaysia. This tree is most noticeable when its leaves are young and vivid crimson. This occurs in India in March.
