Oroxylum indicum, Shyonaka, Broken Bones Plant, Indian Trumpet Flower, Tree of Damocles, Midnight Horror

Oroxylum indicum
Family: Bignoniaceae
Shyonaka, Broken Bones Plant, Indian Trumpet Flower, Tree of Damocles, Midnight Horror
Origin: India and Southern China
small tree 10-20 ft

The tree is often grown as an ornamental for its strange appearance. The long, podded fruits hang down from bear branches, looking like dangling sickles or swords in the night. The tree is also a night-bloomer and is pollinized naturally by bats. Additionally, after the large leaf stalks wither, they fall off the tree and collect near the base of the trunk, appearing to look like a pile of broken limb bones.
