DESCRIPTION AND ETHNOBOTANY
| Others – Plant Morphology | Small and dioecious evergreen tree, deciduous in countries with cooler climate. Leaves up to 20 cm by 10 cm, attached to orange-yellow petioles, green but turns orange when aged and drop off. Branches generally tetragonal, giving rise to synonym species epithet ‘quadrangulare’. Flowers unisexual, up to 30cm long in racemes, usually terminal and drooping. Fruits globose – shaped, red or orange when immature, turns black when ripe. Often grown for aesthetic purposes due to orangey appearance when leaves age. Fragrant flowers and fast growing also make it popular as a roadside tree. Genus name ‘Citharexylum’ originated from Greek kithara and xylon, meaning lyre or fiddle and wood respectively. Common name fiddlewood derived from the use of the wood for musical instruments. |
