Couroupita guianensis from Kapileshwer Temple Tirupati :


– We have two trees growing in our society compound.  The flowers are used in the worship of Lord Shiva. Fruits looks like a canon ball, hence it is also called cannon ball tree.


– I saw this tree first time there and nobody was allowed to go near to it to safeguard flowers for worship. Zoom lens could help me to get closeup


If there is air pollution near the tree, it sheds it leaves and new leaves appear after some days.


– the tree sheds its leaves thrice in a year, if there is an external environmental pollution near the tree, it will shed its leaves and will remain  leafless for a week. In Mumbai it flowers throughtout the year.

The நாகலிங்க மரம்/ Cannonball Tree (Couroupita guianensis):
Sighted the Naagalinga Maram (நாகலிங்க மரம்)/ Cannonball Tree (Couroupita guianensis), is an evergreen tree native to tropical northern South America and to the southern Caribbean. In India it has been growing for the past two or three thousand years at least, as attested by textual records; hence it is possible that it is native to India also.

It belongs to the Lecythidaceae family and grows up to 25m in height.
The “Cannonball Tree” is so called because of its brown cannon-ball-like fruits. 
The majority of these trees outside their natural environment have been planted as a botanical curiosity, as they grow very large, distinctive flowers. Its flowers are orange, scarlet and pink in color, and form large bunches measuring up to 3m in length. 
They produce large spherical and woody fruits ranging from 15 to 24cm in diameter, containing up to 200 or 300 seeds apiece.
The flowers do not have nectar, so these flowers are mainly visited by bees in search of pollen; outside the native range of habitat, carpenter bees are considered to be the principal pollinators. Both the fruit and the flower grow from stalks which sprout from the trunk of the tree. The flowers are found on thick tangled extrusions that grow on the trunk of the tree; these are found just below the foliage branches. The extrusions however, can range from two to six feet in length. The flowers are attached to an upwardly bent, white fleshy disk. The flowers have six petals, which are large, orange-red, and strongly perfumed. In pollination, fertile stamens can be found in a ring around reduced style and stamens. The sterile pollen is located in the anthers. As a bee enters to pollinate the flower, its back rubs against the ring with fertile pollen; this allows the bee to carry the fertile pollen to another flower. The differences in the pollen was noticed by French botanist Antoine Porteau in 1825. The differences in the pollen are as follows: the pollen of the ring stamens is fertile, while the hood pollen is sterile.
The tree gets its common name from the large, spherical fruits it produces. The fruit falls from the tree and cracks open when it hits the ground when mature, often causing the sound of a small explosion. The fruit emits an unpleasant aroma when exposed to the air. Individual seeds within the “ball” are coated with hair, which is thought to protect the seed when it is ingested and may also help in the passage of the seed through the intestines. The cannonball tree and it’s fruit are thought by some to be remnants of the last ice age, like the “hedge apple” or “osage orane” of north America. The fruit is thought to be an adaptation provided for the giant ground sloth, a long extinct species. Today instead of seeds being dispersed by the large extinct mammal, the fruit simply rots around the base of it’s mother tree. Like coconut palms, the trees should not be planted near paths or near traffic-filled areas, as the heavy nut is known to fall without notice.
The trees are grown extensively in Shiva temples in India. In Hindi it is called Shiv Kamal and also known as “Kailaspati“. It is called the Nagalingam tree in Tamil. The flowers are called Shivalinga flowers in Hindi; Nagalinga Pushpa in Kannada; Nagamalli flowers or Mallikarjuna flowers in Telugu. Hindus revere it as a sacred tree because the petals of the flower resemble the hood of the Naga, a sacred snake, protecting a Shiva Lingam, the stigma.
The Cannonball Tree possesses antibiotic, antifungal, antiseptic and analgesic qualities. The trees are used to cure colds and stomach aches. Juice made from the leaves is used to cure skin diseases, and shamans of South America have even used tree parts for treating malaria. The inside of the fruit can disinfect wounds and young leaves ease toothache. The fruit emits an unpleasant odor and can be used as an insect repelent just by rubbing it to the skin or clothes.

My Flora Picture of the Year-2011- Couroupita guianensis:
Last year in Jan 2011. I got a chance to attend NCC National Integration camp in Tirupati City (S V Arts College Campus), We visited many places there and captured lots of plants. During the visit of a local Lord Shiva Temple, I was asking cadets to come back soon and sit in the vehicle then a girl cadet of our group called me and asked the name of some flowers, people were carrying those to offer to lord Shiva. I was also stunned to see the beauty of flowers. then i asked to some pilgrims abut the tree from where they are getting those flowers, but language barrier!! I could not get anything. Then a local cadet said me Sir tree is there. I was mesmerized to see the tree and flowers. Flowers were at some height, still i was able to capture those flowers. I saw Couroupita guianensis there first time. Really this was the shot of the Tour for me there.


I was mesmerised by its smell in a Park in the morning in Hyderabad & later could find out this tree.
One of the beutiful flowers to be captured.

Place: BR Hills, in a small temple
Date: 20 July 2013
Habit: Tree, about 20 meters
Leaves: arranged in a whorl at tips of branches
Flowers very fragrant and fruit varying in size from a small lemon to coconut, both on stalks growing from the tall straight trunk.

I asked the tribals in the area and they all called it naga sampige. Naga sampige is Mesua ferrea, but the tree was not like it.

Looks like Cannon ball tree Couroupita guianensis, Nagalingam in Tamil.

Seen in a garden in Bangalore on 27/7/14.
For validation.


no flowers or cannon balls the tell tale signs?


There were no flowers or fruits.
Or else I would have guessed myself!

of course
the fruits fall off in storms, i guess
not edible for the humans so i always wondered what do people do with them.
lets hope someone recognizes the bark to be sure of the diagnosis


This was seen in Mumbai. Attachments (3)


But I have eaten Cannon Ball tree’s fruits from Kenya, and they were coated with sugar and some kind of deep pink colour it had. If still kept somewhere I will post the picture of them.


I have seen seeds coated in pink color in the shops.
They belong to the Baobab Tree.
Not seen these.

that’s it, … this is what one sees all over
thanks for the treat.
and next time i’ll stop and take pictures of the bare trunk and bark to keep some in record
