Not long ago, during my daily walk, I stumbled upon
a lovely smell.
I looked for its origin and discovered it was from a hidden tree,
it was plenty of flowers.
My "investigations" ended on the Chinese Honeysuckle tree, also
known as the Rangoon Creeper, being its botanic name Combretum Indicum.
The tree is initially from Asia. However, it can be found everywhere there is warm weather.
We can learn from Wikipedia that the importance of the tree is not only because of the fragrance but for its medicinal properties:
"The plant is used in herbal medicine. Decoctions of the root, seed or fruit can be used as antihelmintic to expel parasitic worms or for alleviating diarrhea. Fruit decoction can also be used for gargling. The fruits are also used to combat nephritis. Leaves can be used to relieve pain caused by fever. The roots are used to treat rheumatism".聽
