The plant around us 23-Lagerstroemia kwangtungensis

When I was wandering in the riverside park that day, I saw several trees with white flowers in the distance. I thought they were privets, too. When you get close, you smell a clear fragrance. This is different from Ligustrum lucidum. If you look at the flowers carefully, there is actually a big difference. Each of its flowers is much bigger than Ligustrum lucidum.

It turned out that its name was Ziwei. et Koehne。 No wonder it looks familiar. It's a bit like crape myrtle.

Its aliases are: Marriage Tree, Lilian Tree, Yin-Yang Tree, Samba Tree, Jinniu Tree, Cherokee Tree and Lagerstroemia Tree, with a height of 8 meters. It is a unique tree species in China, mainly distributed in Fujian and Guangdong.

Lagerstroemia indica also has strong anti-pollution ability and strong resistance to sulfur dioxide, hydrogen fluoride and chlorine.
