Fagraea ceilanica
Fagraea ceilanica
Fagraea ceilanica, a plant native to Sri Lanka, is primarily known for its role in dust retention due to high dry deposition velocity. While traditional medicinal uses have not been documented, studies highlight its structural and ecological significance. Research indicates that the plant's guard cells contain large lipid droplets and unique stomatal structures, contributing to its environmental benefits. Additionally, it has been observed that root selection by Fagraea ceilanica can influence soil properties and alter bacterial community structure in certain conditions. Scientific evidence is limited regarding specific health applications or direct effects on human physiology; however, no major safety concerns have been reported. There are currently no recorded drug interactions associated with this plant.

What the science says
- Fagraea ceilanica was among the dominant dust-retaining plant species in terms of dry deposition velocity.
- The study found that redbed composite polymer materials improved soil properties and plant survival in the water level fluctuation zone.
- The study found that root selection effects consistently reduced alpha diversity and altered bacterial community structure across a group of 11 stress-resistant plant species.
- The guard cells of Fagraea ceilanica contain large, diurnally dynamic lipid droplets and anisocytic or helicocytic stomata structures.
