Cannonball tree, the Buddha birth tree
The Red lauan, Cannonball tree or Sal tree or Sala tree [Couroupita guranensis] is known locally as រាំងភ្នំ (Raing Phnum), រាំងប្រសូត (Raing Prosot) ឬ សាលព្រឹក្ស (Sal Prek). It has beautiful flowers. They are very common planted in public areas, in Buddhist temple [pagoda] or you will see a lot in the Royal Palace or national museum. Locals believed that Buddha was born under this tree that's why they called Raing Prosot [Buddha born-tree]. The Cannonball tree was named because its fruits are as big as artillery's bullet in the ancient time and when it drops, it sounds so strong like the sound of shooting artillery.
