Abstract: Conocarpus is an evergreen, beautiful, and significant ornamental tree that is planted mainly for its aesthetic value, shade, and enjoyment. Because of its resistance to extreme weather conditions, including hot and cold, and ease of trimming and planting particularly in urban areas it spreads quickly. There is an ongoing discussion over its detrimental effects, which include clogging drainage and water pipelines in residential areas and causing health problems including asthma and pollen allergies. Additionally, the state governments in India began to impose bans on newly established plantations. Conversely, extant literature indicates possible advantages for humankind. The civilians, intellectuals, policy officials, governments, etc. are therefore uncertain about the best course of action moving forward. It is now time to present the data and facts about the advantages and disadvantages of this magnificent pleasure tree.

Key words: aesthetic, anticancer, HSF-PI 17, mangrove, Red Data Book.
