Barringtonia asiatica (fish poison tree,[4][5]putat[4] or sea poison tree[4]) is a species of Barringtonia native to mangrove habitats from islands of the Indian Ocean in the west to tropical Asia and islands of the western Pacific Ocean.[4][5] It is grown along streets for decorative and shade purposes in some parts of India, for instance in some towns on the southeastern shore. It is also known as Box Fruit due to the distinct box-shaped fruit it produces.[6] The local name futu is the source of the name for the Polynesian island Futuna.[7] The type specimen was collected by botanist Pehr Osbeck on a sandy beach area on the island of Java, later to be described (and given the original name of Mammea asiatica) by Carl Linnaeus in his Species Plantarum in 1753[8] (and reassigned to the genus Barringtonia by Wilhelm Kurz in 1875).[9][10]
