This tree is kick back to my past. When i was a Kid there was a Nagalinga tree opposite to my house in neighbourhood. I was fascinated by the bright pink flowers. I used to run and collect the flowers. the flower was surrounded a single layer of petal and on the inner side one of the petals resemble the hood of the cobra and if you open the flower we can see a small linga look alike structure. hence the flower gets the name Naga Lingam tree. The tree used to have  huge round fruits which used to hang down the tree. these seed were perfectly round in shape  and huge like cannon balls . Hence in english it is called as Cannon Ball tree.  The flower shape was unique and attaractive but it doesnt have any fancy attractive smell . The Cannon balls true to their name when fall down from the tree cause a loud noise which may be like dropping of bomb shell. The fruit is filled white sticky liquid.
