Bombax ceiba. Also known as the red cotton tree. It has red flowers and ripened capsules that contain cotton-like fibers. In particular, the trunk is covered in spikes to deter climbing animals, and therefore it is an iron version of this tree that is found in the hells.
Name of one of the sixteen realms that surround the Loud Wailing Hell, where the thorns of a silk cotton tree torture the denizens of that realm. The silk cotton tree (Skt. śālmalī; Pali simbali; scientific name Bombax ceiba) is a large tree native to South Asia as well as southern China, Southeast Asia, and Africa. Its trunk and branches are studded with large conical thorns, and its seed pods are filled with a soft flossy wool reminiscent of cotton, hence its English name. Also characteristic are its long roots that often grow above ground and can envelope entire buildings, as seen, for instance, in the stone ruins of Angkor Wat.
