The tree produces large, fragrant white blooms with many stamens that range in hue from orange-yellow to golden-yellow. The avenue tree species Mesua ferrea is widely employed in the eastern and northeastern states of India because it is a sink for dust pollution.

The medication Nagakesar, which is used to cure fever, diarrhea, stomach issues, and asthma, is produced by the stamens of the flower.
