Product Description

Madhumalti Dwarf (Rangoon creeper), is a vine with red flower clusters. The flowers are fragrant and tubular and their color varies from white to pink to red. It is an evergreen perennial rambunctious and ligneous vine, free branching and vigorous growing, needing sturdy support. It is the spiny creeper that grows wild and spread quickly covering the whole area by producing roots and fresh sprouts from the stem. The plant requires regular pruning to keep it within control , as well as to encourage more blooms with new branches as flowers appear on new growth. It blooms profusely and non – stop too, all year round in the tropics. The beautifully coloured flower clusters with pendulous trumpet – shaped flowers open first white, then turn pink and end up deep pink, bright red or reddish purple over a 3 – day period, displaying the various colouring stages altogether on one and the same flower stalk. The flowers exude an intoxicating fragrance at night. The scent is sweet, fruity and unforgettable. The plant is mainly used for traditional medicine. Decoction of the root, seed or fruit can be used as anthelmintic to expel parasitic worms or for alleviating diarrhea. Fruit decoction can also be used for gargling against toothache. The fruits are used to combat nephritis. Leaves can be used to relieve pain caused by fever. The roots are used to treat rheumatism. The plant is used as a cough cure. Leaves are applied to the head to relieve headache.
