This is the #IpeBranco (#TabebuiaRoseoAlba).It's a tipical plant of my home (Brasília, aka #PlanaltoCentral aka #BrasIlha). They rise on #Cerrado (which is the #BrazilianSavanah _ the real place where 90% of the #burnings were happening in Brazil _if it's concerning to you_10% of it were happening in #AmazonRainForest ). Anyway, this plant is relative of the #IpeRosa ( #Handroanthusimpetiginosus) and the #IpeAmarelo(#Handroanthus serratifolius aka #PauDarco). Despite these plants being relatives each one has a different #BiologicalActions :The one i'm showing has good effects in decreasing the effects of #Gout;the second one , with a purple flower , has a substance called #lapachol(with #AntiNeoplasic effects);the third one , with yellow flower, has a very significant #antiinflamatory effect. #MedicinalPlants are wonderful.And #PlantasMedicinaisDoCerrado are considered stronger than the ones that rise on #AmazonForest.Why?Just because the harsh conditions(a dry and hot weather make the plant stronger). #PreserveTheEnvironment. #PreserveOCerrado . . . Some people say (#vegans, at least) that this white flower combines deliciously with #mandioca(another typical plant from brazil's flour (we know it as #tapioca).Oh..and this nutritive flour(used by #BrazilianIndians for thousands of years is a #GlutenFreeFood). Marvelous . (em Embrapa Cerrados) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3LhqBAl4Qc/?igshid=104q0fealvi81
