CRATOXYLUM COCHINCHINENSIS

This is a tree from the Clusiaceae Family. I did not capture it but its new leaf flushes are pinkish and the peeling bark is an orangey brown. The leaves also have a drooping effect on the dome-shaped crown. In addition, it is a host plant for some native butterflies.

So this is definitely a tree worth planting in the landscape.
