Ixora coccinea

(aka as jungle geranium, pauwenkers,  flame of the woods or jungle flame, faja lobi)

“is a species of flowering plant in the Rubiaceaefamily. It is a common flowering shrub native to Southern India and Sri Lanka. It has become one of the most popular flowering shrubs in South Florida gardens and landscapes.

I. coccinea is a dense, multi-branched evergreen shrub, commonly 4–6 ft (1.2–2 m) in height, but capable of reaching up to 12 ft (3.6 m) high. It has a rounded form, with a spread that may exceed its height. The glossy, leathery, oblong leaves are about 4 in (10 cm) long, with entire margins, and are carried in opposite pairs or whorled on the stems. Small tubular, scarlet flowers in dense rounded clusters 2-5 in (5–13 cm) across are produced almost all year long.

Although there are around 500 species in the genus Ixora, only a handful are commonly cultivated, and the common name, Ixora, is usually used for I. coccinea. I. coccinea is used in warm climates for hedges and screens, foundation plantings, massed in flowering beds, or grown as a specimen shrub or small tree. In cooler climes, it is grown in a greenhouse or as a potted house plant requiring bright light.

The flowers, leaves, roots, and the stem are used to treat various ailments in the Indian traditional system of medicine, the Ayurveda, and in various folk medicines. The fruits, when fully ripe, are used as a dietary source.”

Accelerates wound healing and improves collagen tissue (excerpt from research:“ IxME ( I. coccinea methanol extract)  treatment significantly accelerated the cutaneous wound healing as depicted by thick well organized re-epithelialized layer, dermis with compact collagen layering, and faster keratinization with intraepithelial cornification, ”) *see research link 5000 & 22118031

Antimicrobial=antibacterial, fungal & viral  (excerpt from research :“ The different methanolic extract of flower and leaves of Ixora species showed a broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. Amongst all, ethanolic extract showed highly significant antibacterial activity against all bacterial strains used in this study when compared to standard. The aqueous extract showed moderate significant inhibition against all bacterial strains when compared to standard.  ) *see research link 250 & 031
