Crown Flower (Calotropis gigantea)

Crown Flower is beautiful and poisonous flower. I saw this on the side of the road when I was walking along a major road. Roadsides have been converted into forests with vegetation. The Crown Flower plant stood there alone. It is a medicinal plant. People have been using this plant as medicine since ancient times. Generally leaves, flowers and roots of this plant are used as medicine. Also it is a poisonous plant. Although many goats, sheep and cows roam around this plant, they do not eat it. Animals also probably know it will die if they eat a poisonous plant. This part of the plant is consumed in small quantities, so it is possible to use it as a medicine. If you look at the flowers of this tree, you will see that they are strangely beautiful. I saw a black bug on it, probably feeding on the nectar of the flowers. This plant does not seem to be poisonous to insects.
