Peltophorum pterocarpum is a species of Peltophorum, native to tropical southeastern Asia and a popular ornamental tree grown around the world. The tree is widely grown in tropical regions as an ornamental tree, particularly in India, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Florida and Hawaii in the United States. The trees have been planted alternately in India as a common scheme for avenue trees in India alternately with Delonix regia (Poinciana) to give a striking yellow and red effect in summer, as has been done on Hughes road in Mumbai. The wood has a wide variety of uses, including cabinet-making and the foliage is used as a fodder crop. The brownish colour called sogan typical of batik cloth from inland Java is produced from P. pterocarpum, which is known there as soga. Source : Wikipedia This foota
