Asoka tree

About

Saraca indica, commonly known as the asoka tree, ashok or simply asoca, is a species of tree in the family Fabaceae, subfamily Detarioideae. The species is native to most of Mainland Southeast Asia and Western Indonesia. It grows to a height of 20 metres and is known for its clusters of orange-yellow to red flowers. The original plant specimen from which Carl Linnaeus described the species came from Java, but the name S. indica has been generally incorrectly applied to S. asoca since 1869.
