Cannonball Tree

I took these photographs on the ground of Chennai Museum. The fruits of this tree look like cannon balls. 

The botanical name of the cannon ball tree is Couroupita Guianensis. It belongs to the family Lecythidaceae. It is native to the rainforest of central & South America. The tree is sacred to the Hindus in India. The flowers look like NAGA & it is grown at Shiva Temples.
