Hello!

A question from the German de.rec.garten-group:
Does anyone know this tree from North-Thailand?

It seems to me that here are more experts for tropical plants.


I do not know what it is. However, it appears to be a vine climbing a
tree and not the tree itself.


My idea was, that it is a kind of eucalyptus. But a masterclass from
de.rec.garten *) now found the right tree: Couroupita guianensis

*) Dr. Gotthelf Wolmershäuser, with his nice garden, full of other Ericales:
