Sterculia Foetida is a Native tree and has quite a bit of Medicinal Qualities. Originally from East Africa & Australia. Its a tall & Straight tree.
Its but famous for the unbearable stench its Fruits / Flowers produce. When you are near the tree in its full blossom, you’ll wonder if you’re near a sewer.
Spotted at Kothari Road, Nungambakkam.

I have never seen this tree or have gone near to it.
I will look for this tree during my next visit to Chennai.
Ram: And more critically check out its Tamil name …

Did you go for the Nizhal Tree Walk at Kothari Road? Sounds like it, with all the “Sterculia foetida” and all that!
Ram: Bingo ….. check my other blog for the details ….
