Dolichandrone spathacea, also known as tui[3] or mangrove trumpet tree,[4] is a species of plant in the family Bignoniaceae.

Distribution and habitat

The species is native to a wide area of tropical Asia and the Pacific, from South India and Sri Lanka to New Caledonia.[2][3]

Uses

The flower is edible and it is part of Thai cuisine, where it is known as dok khae thale or dok khae pa,[5] being sometimes confused with Markhamia stipulata—also having the alternative name แคป่า dok khae pa in Thai. The Dolichandrone spathacea flower, however, is white and not yellowish or red and looks thinner. It is usually eaten sauteed or in Kaeng som.

In Southeast Asia, the leaves and barks are used as traditional herbal medicine which is used to treat bacterial infections such as oral thrush, bronchitis, and gastrointestinal diseases.[6]
