Markhamia lutea, known commonly as the Nile Tulip, Nile Trumpet, or Siala, is a versatile and highly valued tree species native to Eastern Africa, particularly in the lake basins and highlands of countries like Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, and DR Congo. It is celebrated for its rapid growth, stunning yellow flowers, and crucial role in traditional medicine and agriculture. Markhamia lutea is considered a crucial, sustainable tree, with many researchers calling for more studies into its potential for both pharmaceutical development and agroforestry. Markhamia lutea is often called a “most practical tree” because of its many uses for rural communities. Medium: Markhamia lutea tree ( wood )
