deep orange-yellow borne on a medium-sized slender tree related to the
Magnolias.4 In many areas where it thrives, the flowers are used for ornamental
purposes and for worship in temples.
It is a fast growing medium-sized
tree with an upright habit and attractive lime-green foliage. The lovely,
orchid-like, highly fragrant, white flowers appear from mid Spring through to
Autumn. Moist, well drained situations are preferred in full sun to partial
shade. Mulch well to keep surface roots cool, and water regularly during
Summer. Paklan will thrive in subtropical areas, but can be grown from Cairns
