| The tree was unattractive ( near Yio Chu Kang MRT)...... |
 |
| But the new 'dashes' of orange-red among the branches caught my attention in Apr/May. One Sunday afternoon I decided to have a closer look and found clusters of orange/red flowers. The rather large fruits looked like inflated groundnuts! ( one visible @ upper left edge below) |
Castanospermum australe |
 |
I picked up a few 'fallen' flowers and brought home for a
closer look. I searched through all books on Singapore Road site
plants but could not ID it. Can you? Ans :
26/06/03 Castanospermum australe or Moreton Bay Chestnut
