Neolamarckia cadamba, with English common names burflower-tree, laran, and Leichhardt pine, and called kadam or Kadamba locally, is an evergreen, tropical tree native to South and Southeast Asia. The genus name honours French naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck. It has scented orange flowers in dense globe-shaped clusters. The flowers are used in perfumes. The tree is grown as an ornamental plant and for timber and paper-making. Kadamba trees are featured in Indian religions and mythologies, dating back thousands of years.
