NAVAGATHAR- Amherstia nobilis

Amherstia nobilis, popularly known as the Pride of Burma and also as world’s most beautiful and rare flowering tree. A. nobilis comes under the family Fabaceae and is native to Myanmar. The tree is well known for its hanging crimson red flower clusters with small yellow markings on the petals.

This rare tree species was brought from JNTBGRI, Trivandrum for introduction in Green Ahalia Gardens.
