Die Kreppmyrte (Banaba,Lagerstroemia speciosa) ist ein Gehölz der tropischen Zonen Asiens, wo sie in Flußnähe wächst. Der reichverzweigte Baum weist eine hellbraune Borke auf, die abschilfert. Er hat graugrüne, elliptische Blätter und Blütenstände mit langen Rispen, die, ähnlich unserem Flieder, am Ende der Zweige sitzen. Das Farbspektrum der etwa 4 cm großen Blüten reicht von weiß über rosa bis hin zu lila.

Jedoch nicht nur seiner Blüten wegen wird das attraktive Gehölz geschätzt, es liefert auch wertvolles Holz und findet zudem in der Volksmedizin Verwendung.
