Which tree is known as "Flame of Forest"?

  • A.Cassia fistula
  • B.Bauhinia variegata
  • C.Bombax ceiba
  • D.Butea monosperma

Answer: D

The 'Flame of the Forest' is Butea monosperma.

Butea monosperma, known as palas or dhak, covers itself in bright orange-red flowers in spring after its leaves fall, so that whole stretches of forest seem to be on fire. It is the State flower of Jharkhand.

Cassia fistula (amaltas) has hanging yellow flowers and is called golden shower, Bauhinia variegata (kachnar) has orchid-like flowers, and Bombax ceiba (semal) is the red silk cotton tree.
