Field Notes

Description:

This is an amazing flower found in India. I believe it is called as cannonball tree flower in english.

Habitat:

Tropical forests of India, Thailand.

Notes:

The "Cannonball Tree" is so called because of its brown cannon-ball-like fruits. I took this picture at a botanical garden in Adyar, Chennai.
