Photo Of Kanak Champa, "Dinner Plate Tree", Amuses Twitter

A photo shared by IFS officer Ramesh Pandey has left the online world amazed. The photo is that of a leaf and flowers of the Kanak Champa tree.

The yellow flower looked like a peeled banana and the leaf was the size of an average dinner plate. The IFS officer said it is called the dinner plate tree as well.

Sharing the photo on Twitter, Pandey said, “Peeled-banana look like flowers and dinner-plate sized leaf are popular features of Kanak Champa, a native tree to land. Many call it 'dinner plate tree' because of its large pinnate leaves. Both dried leaves and flowers are falling from the trees these days.”
