Its small pods caused intense Irritation or KHHURRAK.---- • Some of Our class mates at MC School Attock were from Jassian and sadder side. They used to bring its pods to school from Company bagh. They secretly rubbed it on the neck of other boys and enjoyed his Jumping with KHHURRAK.----- • It was a tall tree with very thick Barrel shaped Stem. Prof Banaras Govt College Attock may help to tell its botanical classification ----- • Lagunaria patersonii. Norfolk Island Hibiscus. Queensland, Malvaceae (Mallow Family)---- • when in bloom in midsummer and covered with flowers that are an inch or more across in colors grading through rose-pinks to lilac, this tree grows to about 25 feet. The flowers distinctly resemble the hibiscus, the stamens projecting from a central column, and indeed the tree is of the same family. The leaves are dull green, very pale underneath, and about 2 inches long.----- • The seed capsules open to reveal five compartments and should be handled with care because of the fine sharp hairs .The hairs are used as itching powder to be shaken down the neck of the kid at the desk in front of you by mischief-makers.The cow-itch tree (Mincuna imbricata) of India bears pods covered with sharp hairs
