Avaarai is a beautiful shrub with has a lot of side branches with smooth bark. It has numerously stipulated,  closely packed and arranged leaves. The flowers are beautiful and bright yellow colored and very attractive. They are bisexual in nature. They are in racemes. The avaarai is highly medicinal.
The flowers are used to get glowing face and skin. They are sun-dried,  packed and available in herbal stores and grocery stores.

In my garden, I sowed about 12 seeds during the summer season and irrigate them regularly. The saplings grew well.   Due to unavoidable circumstances, I was not able to take care of them.  Seven plants withered due to hot rays of the Sun. Three survived. Now I am maintaining these saplings.

I am waiting for its blooming time
