''Ceiba pentandra'' is a tropical tree of the order Malvales and the family Malvaceae (previously separated in the family Bombacaceae), native to Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, northern South America, and (as the variety ''C. pentandra'' var. ''guineensis'') to tropical west Africa. Kapok is the most used common name for the tree and may also refer to the cotton-like fluff obtained from its seed pods. The tree is cultivated for the seed fibre, particularly in south-east Asia, and is also known as the Java cotton, Java kapok, silk-cotton, Samauma, or ceiba. ==Common Names〔http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Kapok%20Tree.html〕== *English - Kapok, Ceiba, White Silk-Cotton Tree *Hindi - Safed semal सफ़ेद सेमल *Manipuri - মোৰেহ তেৰা Moreh Tera *Malayalam - Pannimaram *Tamil - Ilavam *Telugu - Tellaburaga *Marathi - Samali *Kannada - Dudi *Sanskrit - Kutashalmali *Bengali - শ্ৱেত সিমল Shwet Simul *Sinhala - Kotta 〔http://www.instituteofayurveda.org/plants/plants_detail.php?i=254&s=Family_name〕 *Ashante, Twi and Fanteen - Onyãã, or Onyina〔F.R.
