Abstract

 Palash (Butea monosperma), also recognized as Flame of the Forest, bears immense significance in diverse regions across the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, spanning cultural, ecological, and medicinal domains. This review aims to present a thorough overview of Palash, covering its botanical traits, traditional medicinal applications, ecological contributions, and recent scientific evaluations. Botanically, Palash stands as a deciduous tree within the Fabaceae family, distinguished by its striking orange-red blooms and unique leaf structure. Flourishing across a range of habitats from dry deciduous forests to tropical savannas, it plays a pivotal role in upholding biodiversity and fostering ecosystem resilience. The traditional medicinal utility of Palash finds extensive documentation in Ayurveda and other indigenous healing systems. Various parts of the tree, encompassing leaves, flowers, bark, and seeds, have been employed in addressing a broad spectrum of ailments such as skin conditions, gastrointestinal disorders, diabetes, and inflammation. Recent pharmacological investigations have commenced to validate several of these traditional uses, shedding light on the potential of Palash as a wellspring of bioactive compounds with therapeutic efficacy. Moreover, Palash serves as a crucial asset for numerous indigenous communities, offering sustenance, animal fodder, timber, dye, and various non-timber forest resources. Its cultural importance resonates through religious ceremonies, folk customs, and artistic representations, ingraining it deeply within the cultural tapestry of many societies. However, despite its ecological and cultural significance, Palash confronts various threats including habitat degradation, deforestation, excessive exploitation, and disturbances induced by climate change. These challenges underscore the urgent need for concerted conservation efforts to safeguard this invaluable botanical treasure for future generations.
