Natural Crown Flower Stock Photo

This plant has large, thick, oval, pale silvery-green leaves. The entire plant contains a poisonous milky sap. It can grow to 4 m in height and bears clusters of waxy white or lavender flowers. Each flower has a “crown” containing stamens in the centre of its five petals thus giving it the common name, Crown Flower. The fleshy fruit pods split open when ripe to reveal numerous winged seeds with woolly tufts of hair attached. These woolly hairs help the light-weight seeds to be dispersed by wind.Common Name:Crown Flower, Remiga, Merigu, Giant Indian Milkweed, Giant Milkweed, Ivory Plant, Swallow-wort, Asclepiad Tree, Kayu Berduri, Kemengu, Rembaga
