Not a showy tree, lanetes have small (4-6cm) white widely spaced flowers; subtle but beautiful. It begins with five simple outer petals curving backwards and then later a small yellow-ish or pink-ish inner flower emerges. The flowers begin as a bullet-shaped pod. Lanete is the provincial tree of Ratchaburi province.
