Ormosia travancorica is a canopy tree of the wet evergreen forests of the Western Ghats in southern India, found in Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. It is not a common garden or houseplant, so care advice here is general and applies to any cultivation attempt in a warm, humid tropical climate.
Ormosia travancorica is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae.
It is endemic to the Western Ghats of Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. It is reasonably common in the South Sahyadri and rare in the Coorg Region of Central Sahyadri. The canopy trees in wet evergreen forests, which generally extend up to 800 m, sometimes extend up to 1200 m in the southern Ghats.
