WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE TREE?





That question was at the back of my mind since my friend, Haji Hasnin asked me this morning. At that time I did not know and told him so but the question was playing at the back of my mind and immediately after school was over I took out my laptop and did a web search. My effort was not in vain as my quesion was answered. Peltophorum pterocarpum is its scientific name. It is more commonly known as Yellow Flame tree.
Here is more information about it:
Peltophorum pterocarpum (Copperpod, Golden Flamboyant, Yellow Flamboyant, Yellow Flame Tree, Yellow Poinciana, Radhachura in Bangla) is a species of Peltophorum, native to tropical southeastern Asia.
