Leopard tree (Libidibia ferrea)

Leopard tree (Libidibia ferrea) is a medium sized tree native to Brazil and hails from the family of legumes , Fabaceae.

It has a slender trunk and flat topped crown. The feathery foliage of bipinnate leaves has tiny leaflets, providing light shade in summer. The tree also offers panicle spikes of sunny yellow flowers, at the stem tips. The yellow petals of flowers are dotted with red spots. The fruit is an oblong woody bean.

The tree’s best feature, though, is its smooth, mottled trunk, and ivory bark with brown or gray patches. It peels as the tree matures, increasing the effect. This mottled bark is the basis for the common name, the leopard tree.

The wood of this tree is quite hard and strong and hence it is also known by the name ironwood.

Bigger Than the Problem, Bigger Than You Think in English Hindi Marathi

Rise Above, Realize Your Potential In the depths of our souls, a spark resides, A flame that flickers, yet never subsides. A potential that's vast, a power that's grand, A force that's within us, waiting to expand. When problems arise, and doubts creep in, We think we're powerless, and our hopes give in. But what if we saw, that we're more than the test? That within us lies, a strength that's truly the best? The problem's not the problem, but our mindset's the key, For when we see our potential, the problem's no longer we. It's a challenge, an opportunity, to grow and to rise, To tap into our inner strength, and reach for the skies. So let's not be fooled, by the problem's disguise, Let's see it for what it is, a chance to realize, Our true potential, our inner might, And let's rise above it, into the light. For we are capable, of more than we know, Our potential's vast, and it's waiting to grow. So let's n...
