Crown Flower also called Giant Milkweed and known as "Aarko" or "Akand" in Nepal, is a striking and robust shrub with large, waxy, star-shaped flowers in shades of purple or white. It thrives in warm and tropical climates and is often found in fields, waste areas, and along roadsides in Nepal, adding beauty to the landscape with its unique flowers and unusual seed pods. Its milky juice may irritate or burn skin and result in intense tearing & eyelid swelling in case of eye contact.
