Champa - a very fragrant flower On a warm humid night, the scents can

easily be enjoyed several hundred feet away.

Champa is native to Indonesia, India and other neighbouring areas.

It occurs naturally in the eastern Himalayan region. It is a large evergreen tree

with a long straight bole of 18-21 m with a close tapering crown composed of

ascending branches.

The most interesting part of the tree are its flowers which are

not very showy with few narrow

yellowish white petals, but have an extremely heady fragrance. This fragrance has

made Champa flowers very popular and they have been part

of the culture in India from time immemorial. They are used in

religious offering in various parts of India.
