Common name: Ixora, Jungle geranium, Rugmini रुग्मिनी (Hindi), Vedchi (Tamil), Rangan (Bengali), Chethi (Malayalam)
Botanical name: Ixora coccinea Family: Rubiaceae (coffee family)
-------------------
The Red Ixora is found in the wild and is cultivated in the gardens too. The flowers of this shrub are used in the worship of some deities and in folk medicine.
VERY OFTEN one is attracted to the red bunch of flowers on a shrub in many gardens.
These colourful flowers are from the Ixora plant. In spite of the arrival of many new varieties of Ixora - dwarf varieties, plants with large bunches of flowers and flowers with new colours - the old favourite Ixora coccinea, still maintains its dignified position among flowering shrubs in our gardens.
The Ixora coccinea, a large shrub with brilliant scarlet flowers, comes from the West Coast where it is found growing wild on crags and the scrub.
It is also cultivated in gardens. Flowers are used extensively in puja for deities.
Leaves of Ixora coccinea are oval, leathery, shiny and sessile. Individual flowers have a long tube and four triangular lobes. The plant flowers throughout the year but is floriferous after the rains.
The plant, if manured when in flower, produces more flowers. When flowering becomes less the plant can be trimmed to make it look tidy.
The plant produces round berries that turn black when ripe. Ixora coccinea can be propagated through seeds, but it is easier to produce new plants through stem cuttings or by layering.
It is cultivated all over the country and is called Techi in Malayalam, Vrichi in Tamil and Koranam in Telugu. In folk medicine Techi is a useful plant.
The juice of the flower is useful in dysentery and also used on sores, chronic ulcers and scabies.
