Common name: Cannon Ball Tree, {Nagalinga नागलिंग, Tope gola तोप गोला} (Hindi), {Lingada mara, Nagalingam (Kannada)}, Shivalingam (Marathi), Kaman gola (Bengali), Naagalingam நாகலிங்கம்(Tamil) Botanical name: Couroupita guianensis - [ (gee-uh-NEN-sis) of or from French Guiana (Guyana), South America ] Synonyms: Couratari pedicellaris, Lecythis bracteata, Pekea couroupita Family: Lecythidaceae Origin: tropical America The Cannon-ball Tree (Couroupita guianensis) is an evergreen tree allied to the Brazil Nut (Bertholletia excelsa), native of tropical northern South America, tropical America and the southern Caribbean. It grows to 30-35 m tall, with leaves in whorls on the ends of the shoots. The flowers, which are borne only on special stems on the main trunk, are orange, scarlet or pink forming racemes up to 3 m long. They mature into large spherical woody fruit 15-24 cm diameter, containing numerous (200-300) seeds. The pulp of the fruits oxidizes bluish, and has an unpleasant smell. The trees should not be planted near paths or near traffic filled areas, as the heavy nut is known to fall without notice.
