Bharatpur: A wave of joy has swept through nature enthusiasts in Rajasthan following the reappearance of the rare yellow Palash flower in the Gol forest area of the Bonli region in Sawai Madhopur.
The Forest Department has described this occurrence as a unique gift from nature to Sawai Madhopur. On Thursday, while on patrol, a team from the Social Forestry Wing of the Forest Department identified this rare tree. They photographed two specimens of this rare yellow variety amidst a cluster of saffron-colored Palash trees and subsequently informed higher officials.
Sources revealed that this flower had also been sighted in the district’s forests two years ago. The Palash tree is commonly known as the “Flame of the Forest,” but the yellow-colored variety is considered extremely rare.
This species of yellow Palash falls under the protected category and is found in very few locations. It is a rare species currently being conserved by the Forest Department.
According to forest officials, seeds from the yellow Palash will be collected to cultivate saplings in nurseries, which will then be planted in other locations as well.
Currently, the yellow Palash discovered in the Bonli forest area remains a special attraction—not only for the Forest Department but also for nature lovers—and significant efforts toward its conservation are expected to be undertaken in the near future.
