You came on a rainy night, | |||
Heady with fragrance of screwpine flowers.{{#tag:ref|The [[:wikipedia:Pandanus|screwpine]] is a palm-like tree with a drooping appearance. It is native to the tropics and subtropics. The tree is [[:wikipedia:Dioecy|dioecious]] in nature, that is, the male and female flowers grow on separate trees. Male flowers are tiny, white, and very shortlived; but they are highly valued for their fragrance. Those flowers are harvested (primarily in [[:wikipedia:Odisha|Orissa]]) early in the morning, because the fragrance is lost soon after the flower opens. For more information see [http://gernot-katzers-spice-pages.com/engl/Pand_odo.html here].|group="nb"}} | |||
