This document provides information on various trees, plants, and creepers. It describes several species of trees including eucalyptus, saman tree, laburnum, bauhinia, pongamia, and ravenala. It also discusses nectar production in plants and genera of plants such as lantana, adenium, nerium, and catharanthus. The document concludes with descriptions of the allamanda and rangoon creeper vines.

Trees
Land scape and its types
Eucalyptus is a diverse genus of flowering trees and shrubs (including a distinct group with a multiple-stem mallee growth habit) in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae
• Saman tree is recognised by its canopy of evergreen feathery foliage and puffs pink flowers. It is frequently planted in group or avenue. It often reaches a height of 27m and a strong spreading branches may be nearly as long.its bark is dark grey often bearing horizontal weals.
Laburnum, sometimes called Golden Chain or Golden Rain, is a genus of two species of small trees in the subfamily Faboideae of the pea family FabaceaeThe Laburnum trees are deciduous. The leaves are trifoliate, somewhat like a clover; the leaflets are typically 2–3 cm (1–1 in) long in L. anagyroides and 4–5 cm (1.5–2 in) long in L. alpinum.
• Bauhinia trees typically reach a height of 6–12 m and their branches spread 3–6 m outwards. The lobed leaves usually are 10–15 cm across. • The five- petaled flowers are 7.5–12.5 cm diameter, generally in shades of red, pink, purple, orange, or yellow, and are often fragrant. The tree begins flowering in late winter and often continues to flower into early summer. Depending on the species, Bauhinia flowers are usually in magenta, mauve, pink or white hues with crimson highlights.
Pongamia pinnata (L.) Pierre is a legume tree that grows to about 15–25 metres (50–80 ft) in height with a large canopy which spreads equally wide. It may be deciduous for short periods. It has a straight or crooked trunk, 50–80 centimetres (20–30 in) in diameter, with grey-brown bark which is smooth or vertically fissured.. They are a soft, shiny burgundy when young and mature to a glossy, deep green as the season progresses with prominent veins underneath. Flowering generally starts after 3– 4 years with small clusters of white, purple, and pink flowers blossoming throughout the year. The raceme-like inflorescence bear two to four flowers which are strongly fragrant and grow to be 15–18 millimetres (0.59–0.71 in) long.
• Ravenala is a genus of flowering plants with a single species, Ravenala madagascariensis, commonly known as traveller's tree or traveller's palm, from Madagascar.
foxtail palm, is a species of palm in the Arecaceae family, native to Queensland, Australia.
Plants
Land scape and its types
• Nectar is a sugar-rich liquid produced by plants in glands called nectarines, either within the flowers with which it attracts pollinating animals, or by extra floral nectarines, which provide a nutrient source to animal mutualists, which in turn provide antiherbivore protection.
• Lantana is a genus of about 150 species of perennial flowering plants in the verbena family, Verbenaceae. They are native to tropical regions of the Americas and Africa but exist as an introduced species in numerous areas, especially in the Australian-Pacific region. The genus includes both herbaceous plants and shrubs growing to 0.5–2 m (1.6–6.6 ft) tall. Their common names are shrub verbenas or lantanas.
• Adenium is a genus of flowering plants in the Apocynum family, Apocynaceae, first described as a genus in 1819. It is native to Africa and the Arabian Peninsula
• Nerium oleander is a shrub or small tree in the dogbane family Apocynaceae, toxic in all its parts. It is the only species currently classified in the genus Nerium. It is most commonly known as nerium or oleander, from its superficial resemblance to the unrelated olive Olea.
• Catharanthus is a genus of flowering plants in the dogbane family, ApocynaCatharanthus roseus, known formerly as Vinca rosea, is a main source of vinca alkaloids, now sometimes called catharanthus alkaloids. The plant produces about 130 of these compounds, including vinblastine and vincristine, two drugs used to treat cancer.
Creepers
• Allamanda is a genus of flowering plants in the dogbane family, Apocynaceae. They are native to the Americas, where they are distributed from Mexico to Argentina. Some species are familiar as ornamental plants cultivated for their large, colorful flowers. Most species produce yellow flowers
• Rangoon creeper vine is a woody climbing liana with green to yellow-green lance shaped leaves. The stems have fine yellow hairs with occasional spines forming on the branches. Rangoon creeper blooms white at onset and gradually darkens to pink, then finally red as it reaches maturity. Flowering in the spring through summer, the 4- to 5-inch star-shaped aromatic blossoms are clustered together. The fragrance of the blooms is most striking at night.
