The Kadamba tree (Neolamarckia cadamba) is a large, fast-growing, evergreen tree native to South and Southeast Asia. It's known for its fragrant, orange-yellow flowers that grow in dense, globe-like heads and its cultural significance in Hinduism and Buddhism. The tree can reach up to 45 meters in height with a broad, spreading crown. 

• A fully mature tree can reach up to 45 m (148 ft) in height. It is a large tree with a broad crown and straight cylindrical bole. It is quick growing, with broad spreading branches and grows rapidly in the first 6–8 years. The trunk has a diameter of 100–160 cm, but typically less than that. Leaves are 13–32 cm (5.1–12.6 in) long.Flowering usually begins when the tree is 4–5 years old.
• Its flowers are sweetly fragrant, red to orange in color, occurring in dense, globular heads of approximately 5.5 cm (2.2 in) diameter. The fruit of N. cadamba occur in small, fleshy capsules packed closely together to form a fleshy yellow orange infructescence containing approximately 8000 seeds. On maturing, the fruit splits apart, releasing the seeds, which are then dispersed by wind or rain.
• Stamens 5, inserted on the corolla tube, filaments short, anthers basifixed. Ovary inferior, bi-locular, sometimes 4-locular in the upper part, style exserted and a spindle-shaped stigma.
• Fruitlets numerous with their upper parts containing 4 hollow or solid structures. Seed trigonal or irregularly shaped.
• The sapwood is white with a light-yellow tinge becoming creamy yellow on exposure and is not clearly differentiated from the heartwood.
