Alstonia scholaris, commonly called blackboard tree, scholar tree, milkwood or devil's tree in English,[3] is an evergreen tropical tree in the Dogbane Family (Apocynaceae). It is native to southern China, tropical Asia (mainly the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia) and Australasia, where it is a common ornamental plant. It is a toxic plant, but is used traditionally for myriad diseases and complaints. It is called Saptaparna in India and is the sacred tree of the 2nd Jain tirthankar Ajitnatha
