Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox
Bauhinia acuminata is a species of flowering shrub native to tropical southeastern Asia. Common names include dwarf white bauhinia, white orchid-tree and snowy orchid-tree.[1] The exact native range is obscure due to extensive cultivation, but probably from Malaysia, Indonesia (Java, Borneo, Kalimantan, Lesser Sunda Islands), and the Philippines.[2]
It grows two to three meters tall. Like the other Bauhinia species, the leaves are bilobed, shaped like an ox hoof; they are Шаблон:Convert long and broad, with the apical cleft up to Шаблон:Convert deep; the petiole is Шаблон:Convert long. The flowers are fragrant, Шаблон:Convert in diameter, with five white petals, ten yellow-tipped stamens and a green stigma. The fruit is a pod Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert broad. The species occurs in deciduous forests and scrub.[1][3][4]
It is widely cultivated throughout the tropics as an ornamental plant. It may be found as an escape from cultivation in some areas, and has become naturalised on the Cape York Peninsula, Australia.[1]
The plant has a number of ethnobotanical uses around the world. The roots are used by the Javanese to treat cough and cold and in India the leaves and bark are used to treat asthma.[5] It is also used in many culinary dishes of Odisha
