<i>Duabanga grandiflora</i> Species of tree

From its peculiar habit, Duabanga grandiflora is a singular feature in its native forests. The trunk is erect, 40–80 feet high, undivided but sometimes forking from the base. The lower limbs spread drooping from the trunk; these are long, slender, sparingly branched, and the branches are four-angled, loosely covered with large spreading leaves. Since the leaves are arranged in two ranks, the slender branches resemble petioles, bearing pinnae of a compound leaf; the leaves are further often recurved, and are deep green above, and almost white beneath. The large blossoms expand in April, exhaling a rank odour reportedly resembling asafoetida when they first burst, but they become inodorous before the petals drop. The stamens are all bent inwards in bud. The fruit is a large as a small apple. The wood is white and soft.

Nepalis Ethnic and national group

Nepalis are the Indo-Aryan and Sino-Tibetan citizens of Nepal under the provisions of Nepali nationality law. The country is home to people of many different national origins. As a result, people of Nepal do not equate their nationality with ethnicity and language, but with citizenship and allegiance. Although citizens make up the majority of the Nepalis, non-citizen residents, dual citizens, and expatriates may also claim a Nepali identity. Nepalis can also be descendants of migrants from Tibet, as well as parts of Myanmar and Yunnan, and may further trace their origin to Central Asia, along with indigenous peoples.
