Barringtonia speciosa J. R. Forst. & G. Forst

Barringtonia asiatica est species Barringtoniae in salinis litorum tropicorum habitationibus et insulis oceanorum Indici et Pacifici occidentalis, a Zanzibar ad Taivaniam, Philippinas, Novam Caledoniam, et Vitios,[1][2] et ad Samoam, Tongam, et Micronesiam endemica, et in Havaios introducta (Whistler 1992:21). Vulgo appellatur "fructus quadratus" quia pyxiformem producit fructum (Thiel & Gutow 2004).

Species est parva ad media arbor, quae a 7 ad 25 m crescit. Folia sunt angusta obovataque, 20–40 cm longa et a 10 ad 20 cm lata. Fructus, sicut supra dictus, habet latera quae res cruciformes diagonaliter prominent. Fructus est 9–11 cm diametro, ubi crassa spongiosaque caro fibrosa singulare semen 4–5 cm diametro contegit.[2][3]

Fructus, levissimi et aquam salsam maxime resistentes, disperguntur similiter ut Cocos nucifera (Tsou et Mori 2002), a fluctu oceanico, ubi innantes quindecim annos possunt superesse (Thiel & Gutow 2004). Barringtonia fuit una ex primis plantis quae insulam Anak Krakatau colonizavit cum hic mons ignifer post eruptionem Krakatau apparuisset.[2] Semina, ad litus lata et a pluvia madefacta, germinant.

Omnes arboris partes sunt venenosae, et venena saponina comprehendunt.

Flores, magni et rosei-albi, forma sicut pompom, odorem dulcissimum suavissimumque emittunt ad attrahendos vespertiliones et heterocera, quae flores noctu pollinant.

In Samoa et Samoa Americana, infusio seminis rasi ad cutis ulcera (Samoane: papala) aliquando adhibetur (Whistler 1996:69).
