    Palasa leaves. Abundantly found in western odisha forests. Palsa flowers blossoms in the spring season. It beautifies the nature .After the flowers season is over the trees became full with new leaves. These leaves are used as leaf cup and plate in the villages especially during the summer season. Excellent posting.
