Popularly referred to as the ‘cannonball tree’ because not only are the fruits as large, round and heavy as their namesakes, but when falling to the earth, they often do so with loud and explosive noises. The fruit appears to be developing straight from the trunk of the tree, and has a truly awful stench to it, unlike the sweet scented flowers. Seen at the Singapore Botanical Gardens where this shot was taken. Latin name Couroupita guianens.
