It is native to an area from China through [[Southeast Asia]] to the [[Indian subcontinent]].<ref name=GRIN>{{GRIN | accessdate = 23 April 2019}}</ref> Common names include '''Orchid tree''' (though not belonging to the family [[Orchidaceae]]) and '''Mountain ebony'''.<ref name=GRIN/> In [[Nepal]], the plant is known as ''Koirala'' and the flower is known as ''Koirala ko phool'' in [[Nepali language]]. The flower and the buds are used to make Nepalese style achaar.

Heated [[mustard oil]] and [[Fenugreek|fenugreek seeds]] is then added to the mixture and then lemon juice or lime juice concentrate (''chuk amilo'' in Nepali) is then added as per taste. The achar is then served instantly.
