Bunga Kayu Manis Hutan
(Wild Cinnamon flowers)

Nota Ringkas (Short Notes)


Pohonnya ini merupa seperti pohon kayu manis tetapi kurang wanginya. ia biasa dijumpai liar dan kerap ditanam sebagai pohon tepi jalan, kerana mempunyai daun baru berwarna merah setiap musim hujan.

This plant very closely resembles the Cinnamon Tree but are less fragrant. It is very common in the wild and are also frequently planted as roadside trees, producing lovely pink coloured shoots during the rainy seasons.
