  Indian Trumpet Tree

 

Thailand

The large fruits or seed pods of the Indian Trumpet Tree contain the seeds that are used for their medicinal properties. They typically hang from separate, leafless stems, that extend well above the tree's top and outside the main leafage. In Thai, these edible fruits are called lin fah (fig.), i.e. ‘sky tongues’.
