Ixora coccinea
Family: Rubiaceae
Common Name: Flame of the Woods, Jungle Geranium
Ixora coccinea, commonly known as Flame of the Woods, is a dense, evergreen shrub native to South and Southeast Asia. It is admired for its clusters of vibrant, tubular flowers that bloom in shades of red, orange, yellow, or pink, resembling miniature bouquets. The plant's glossy, dark green leaves add to its ornamental appeal. Typically growing up to 4–6 feet tall, it is widely used in gardens as a hedge, border plant, or centerpiece. Thriving in warm, humid climates, it prefers well-draining soil and full sunlight to partial shade. Ixora is  also valued in traditional medicine for its potential antibacterial and anti-inflammatory  properties.
