Plant Information

Common Name: Jungle Jalebi

Scientific Name: Pithecellobium dulce

Scientific Features:

Jungle Jalebi is a medium-sized, thorny, evergreen tree that can grow up to 10–15 meters tall. It has compound leaves with small green leaflets and curved, twisted pods containing sweet, edible pulp. The tree belongs to the Fabaceae family and is well adapted to tropical and subtropical climates.

Functions / Ecosystem Services:

Soil Enrichment: Being a leguminous plant, it fixes atmospheric nitrogen and improves soil fertility.

Shade and Shelter: Provides shade for small plants and animals.

Food Source: Its pods serve as food for humans, birds, and animals.

Air Purification: Helps in reducing carbon dioxide levels and improving air quality.

Erosion Control: Its strong root system helps prevent soil erosion.

Crop and Water Requirement:

Crop Type: Perennial tree crop.

Water Requirement: Drought-tolerant; requires moderate watering and can survive in semi-arid conditions.

GPS Location: Mexico, central America, northern South America.

Scientific name: Pithecellobium dulce

Located in Pakistan: Subtropical warm parts like Sindh and Punjab ( along roadsides in dry and wastelands)

Benefits: *Prevents soil erosion, provides shade in dry and barren areas.

* Roots and leaves are used in medicine .

* Provides fruit ( sweet and soury) to eat .

* Mexicans use it's seed for oil extraction .

* Fertility of soil increases.

* Habitat for insects, bugs and birds.

* Drought tolerant.

Maintenance: No such need of high maintenance. After planting the plant it needs 2-3 days of water and other maintenance once the roots are spread and plants starts growing, watering it once a week is enough.

Watering of plant also depends on weather conditions, in months of June and July it needs proper treatment after every 4 days, meanwhile in rainy days you can also skip the once in a week watering routine.

Group members: Did it individually

Scientific Name : Delonix regia

2) Function in the Environment / Ecosystem Services:

Shades and cools surface temperatures in the urban environment.

Enhances air quality through the uptake of CO₂ and release of oxygen.

Contributes to biodiversity — its flowers are visited by bees, butterflies, and birds.

Checks soil erosion due to its root system.

Serves as an ornamental tree that adds beauty in cities and campuses.

3) Crop Water Requirements:

Needs moderate watering — approximately 20–30 liters a week for young plants.

After maturation, it develops drought resistance and requires watering primarily during periods of drought.

Tolerates well-drained soil and complete sunlight

Scientific name : Pithecellobium Dulce

FUNCTIONS:

1. Improving soil health

2. Preventing erosion

3. Supporting biodiversity

4. Nitrogen fixation

   
   

WATER REQUIREMENT:

Is a drought-tolerant crop with low water requirements once established. While it needs regular watering during its early growth phase, mature trees are exceptionally resilient and require minimal watering. 

GPS Location:  As a widespread plant that grows in many regions, it does not have a single GPS location. It is native to the tropical Americas but has been introduced and naturalized across the tropical world. 

Group Members: Shahana and Sarah

Common name: Gulmohr

Scientific name: Delonix regia

Geographical Location: Africa, North America, Caribbean and Central America, south america, europe and middle east, indian subcontinent, southeast asia, east asia, australia and micronesia.

Conditions: requires tropical or near tropical climate, tolerates drought and salty conditions. Best thrives in sandy or loamy soil along with organic matter. Flowers more profusely when kept slightly dry.

Description: Medium size deciduous tree with large orange red flowers.

The one we planted is a young sapling.

Environmental Impacts: Gives shade and has a cooling effect, attracts bees and birds with its flowers once it has matured, and improves soil quality while fixing nitrogen.

Plumeria (also called Frangipani)

Scientific Name:

Plumeria rubra

Environment & Ecosystem Services:

1. Grows best in warm, tropical to subtropical climates with full sunlight.

2. Usually planted in gardens, parks, and along streets for its fragrant flowers and ornamental value.

3. Provides habitat and nectar for pollinators like bees, butterflies, and moths.

4. Helps improve air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide.

Crop Water Requirements:

1. Requires moderate watering — about once or twice a week.

2. The soil should be well-drained to prevent root rot.

3. Should be watered less frequently in the winter when the plant is dormant.

GPS location:

Native to Central America, Mexico, the Caribbean, and northern South America.

It was later introduced to South Asia, Southeast Asia, and tropical regions worldwide because of its beautiful, fragrant flowers.

Due to tempting temperature it might need water after 2-3 days gab because as following the instructions to water the plant after 4-5 days wasn't beneficial, as I observed plant leaves wilting.
