English term or phrase: the Flame of the Forest Tree (butea sp) also seems alight
India
rodriguez
French translation:l'arbre [qu'on appelle le]
Explanation:
Le nom scientifique de l'arbre est Butea Superba; "Flame of the Forest Tree" pourrait être issu du nom thaï d'origine "Red Kwao Jreu", mais je n'ai trouvé aucun nom commun en français pour cet arbre qui ne pousse sans doute pas chez nous et qui doit appremment sa soudaine popularité en Amérique par de supposées vertus érectiles...

Tiens, apparemment, le crochet fermé dans ma réponse a interrompu la suite de celle-ci. Je proposais :
