Chiranthodendron
Chiranthodendron
Chiranthodendron is a flowering plant genus in the family Malvaceae. It comprises a single species of tree. This species is native to Guatemala and southern Mexico. On the wet slopes of these areas, trees may reach 10 to 27 m in height. The leaves are large and shallowly lobed, with a brown indumentum on the underside. The distinctive flowers appear in late spring and early summer; the five stamens are long, curved upward, and bright red, giving the distinct impression of a clawed hand.

Durio
Durians
Durians are a genus of tree species. Some trees in this genus produce a distinct fruit that has been dubbed "the king of fruit" due to its large size and thorn-covered peel. In some parts of Indonesia, husks of this fruit are used to smoke fish, but this practice is illegal in some public places because of the overwhelmingly pungent smell.
Bombax
Silk cotton tree
Silk cotton tree originate in Africa, Asia, and Australia. They are considered to be the tallest trees in the regions where they grow natively. They get their name 'Bombax' from the Greek word meaning 'silk' in reference to the silky hairs found on the seed of this genus.
