Terminalia cambodiana

Terminalia cambodiana is a tree of the Combretaceae family, reaching about 6 to 15 m, with whitish-grey exfoliating bark, found mainly in seasonally flooded forests of Cambodia, southern Vietnam and northeast Thailand. It is a large forest tree rather than a common garden or houseplant, and it is grown only where flooding and tropical conditions can be provided.
