Often mistaken for lacewing eggs, Youtan Poluo is one of the rarest flowers in the world. They are extremely dainty and delicate and are believed to bloom once in 3000 years, marking the reincarnation of Buddha.

The local name for this flower is Udumbara. In Sanskrit, this means auspicious flower descending from heaven. The flower is known to excrete the distinct smell of sandalwood.
