Ton-Mok
should be the better name.
I tried to find some detail about the
tree and got the name 'Wrightea' from 'Discovering Trees and Shrubs in Thailand
& S.E. Asia' by Adrian and Jimmie Storrs.
Also tried Time-Life
web site without success.
Perhaps its not so common in the other countries.
Thus, I rather like to call Ton-Mok.
In Thailand, you can easily find this
tree and no hassle to grow.
You
may see this tree near the rest room of service area on highway most of
Thailand.
I have this small tree in a pot at
home.
It has very
small (smaller than 1Cm), popcorn like flower
with sweet smell.

pictures.
