গুলঞ্চ

A climbing creeper used in medicine. The climber is found throughout the tropical regions of India. In Himachal Pradesh, it is frequented as a robust climber in Una, Paonta, Hamirpur, Kangra, Mandi and Chamba regions, upto 1200 m elevation above mean sea level. By seeing it's popularity in different kinds of aurvedic medicine, now a days Guduchi is cultivated commercially also.

There is a lore which says that the name Frangipani derives from a perfume created by an Italian family of the same name. Frangipani, also known as the Plumeria, is native to warm tropical areas of the Pacific Islands, Caribbean, South America and Mexico. Leaves tend to fall in early winter since they are deciduous and sensitive to cold. From mid spring through fall the white flowers with yellow centers adorn the plant at the tips of branches. Individual flowers are 2 ½ inches (~10 cm) across and are very showy and fragrant. "Plumeria" species are easily propagated by taking a cutting of leafless stem tips in Spring and allowing them to dry at the base before inserting them into soil.
