The Shiuli, also known as Parijat or Night-Flowering Jasmine, is a fragrant shrub or small tree native to South and Southeast Asia, with star-shaped white flowers featuring a deep orange-red center that bloom at night and are shed by morning. Its scientific name is Nyctanthes arbor-tristis, and it is the state flower of West Bengal, India. The flowers have a delicate, sweet scent and are culturally significant, used in religious ceremonies, traditional medicine, and even in some regional culinary traditions.
