By the way, the cigarette Barringtonia racemosa (descending flower, scientific name: Barringtonia racemosa) brings downwardly flowers. Leaves are cortical and have a large wide falling needle shape and are attached to each other as they are. Flower name is based on the fact that fruit resembles "legs of go board". Known as drifting seeds, the fruits are spongy and light, floating on water, so they are carried far into the ocean current and increase descendants at the destination. Fish is poisoned in the fruit because it is not predated by the fish during drifting. There is also a fishing method that catches fish using this poison.
