Flowers mostly solitary, 10-15 cm long and across, white, fragrant; pedicel c. 2 cm long; bracts laciniate. Sepals linear-lanceolate, united at the base into short tube, 8-12 cm long, c. 1 cm broad, obtuse, rusty pubescent outside, thick, reflexed, deciduous. Petals linear-oblong or obovate, 6-12 cm long, c. 1 cm broad, reflexed, obtuse. Fertile stamens 5-9 cm long, staminodes equalling the petals; anthers 1-1.5 cm long. Carpels 5; ovary oblong, pentagonal, 5-loculed, densely rusty tomentose. Capsule 5-10 cm long, 5-valved, rusty brown-glabrescent. Seeds compressed, obliquely oval, wings brown, membranous.  
Flower—anti-inflammatory, styptic (used for bleeding piles, haematuria, ulcers). Charred flowers and bark, mixed with the powder of Mallotus philippinensis, are applied to smallpox eruptions. [Indian Medicinal Plants An Illustrated Dictionary]

Bark useful in intestinal complaints, anemia, headache and  pains. Bark and leaves used in smallpox. The indumentum  from the lower side of leaf is said to be used to prevent bleeding from wounds; leaf paste applied on headache. Flowers  and bark charred and mixed with kamala (Mallotus philippensis) applied on suppurating smallpox. A tonic from the  flowers a cure for inflammation, ulcers, tumours, headache,  abdominal pain, indigestion, dehydration, blood troubles and  leprosy; calyx made into a paste and applied on glandular  swellings around neck. The flowers kept among cloths impart  a pleasant perfume and keep away insects. Roots juice given  as antidote in poisoning; roots applied as a paste on wounds.
