Lagerstroemia indica, commonly known as crepe myrtle, queen of flowers, crepe myrtle, or crepeflower, is a wide-spreading shrub or small tree in the genus Lagerstroemia within the family Lythraceae. The plant is native to temperate and tropical Asia, specifically the Indian subcontinent. It has been widely cultivated as an ornamental plant and has become naturalized in Europe, America, China, Korea, Japan, and the Caribbean. The genus name honors Swedish botanist Magnus von Lagerstroemia. The specific epithet means ''of the Indies'' in reference to its native territory. In the United Kingdom, Lagerstroemia indica has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. Red crepe myrtles produce a beautiful, true red bloom from the beginning of May through September. The appeal of this plant lies in its ability to bloom when most trees are not. If the plant is healthy, it will be covered with blooms that last for months during the hottest part of the summer. As the flowers fade, they are replaced with a brown, capsule-like fruit. This fruit attracts birds and usually remains throughout the winter. Crepe myrtle is also traditionally used to address digestive problems such as constipation and diarrhea, as well as urinary conditions. The plant's compounds can help prevent premature aging, lower blood cholesterol levels, and aid in maintaining a healthy heart. This photo was taken in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on 09/06/2024.
