In 2001, Cassia fistula Linn was officially named Thailand’s national flower. This bright yellow flower grows on trees that are named Cassia fistula (C. fistula). You can see them throughout the country and in several nearby nations as well. Some people call the plant golden shower tree because the flowers grow in small groups and fall gently from branches like raindrops. C. fistula is also known as Ratchaphruek, which translates to “royal tree.”
2001 年，阿勃勒（Cassia fistula Linn）被正式命名为泰国国花。这种亮黄色的花生长在名为阿勃勒（Cassia fistula）的树上。你可以在全国各地以及几个邻近国家看到它们。人称这种植物为黄金雨是因为花朵簇拥成团生长，如雨滴般从树枝上轻轻落下。阿勃勒也被称为 Ratchaphruek，意为「皇家树」。
