There are three kinds of
{kraung-lhya}: {kraung-lhya kri:}, {kraung-lhya lak-to}, and {kraung-lhya hsu:pauk},
differing in size of the fruits. The well-known common {kraung-lhya} is
{kraung-lhya kri:} and the fruits hang down. The fruit of
{kraung-lhya lak-to} is smaller and stands upright.
{kraung-lhya ping} belongs to the "basic medicinal group of ten". Myanmars use
{kraung-lhya} fruit not only as medicine, but also as food in various ways. The
leaves, softened by boiling, are eaten as vege-mate of hot fish paste. --
Nagathein, free translation by UKT.
UKT: One of the favorite ways of eating boiled or steamed rice is to put together a bit of chilies-hot fish paste, a bite of fresh or softened vegetable (leaf or fruit) and a small lump of rice. The whole is eaten as one morsel. The vegetable that goes with the fish-paste is termed "vege-mate". Young and tender shoots and leaves (sour, bitter, green-taste -- but not sweet) of almost all plants can be eaten as vege-mate.
Oroxylum indicum a.k.a. Broken Bones Plant, Indian Trumpet Flower, Tree of Damocles. Odd, upright growing tree known for several fear-provoking ornamental attributes, as well as its use in cooking and medicinal treatments. The tree is often grown as an ornamental for its strange appearance. The long, podded fruits hang down from bear branches, looking like dangling sickles or swords in the night. The tree is also a night-bloomer and is pollinized naturally by bats. Additionally, after the large leaf stalks wither, they fall off the tree and collect near the base of the trunk, appearing to look like a pile of broken limb bones. Evergreen or partly deciduous tree to 50-60ft. Flowers bloom at night and emit a strong, stinky odor which attracts bats. Tropical tree, but it may survive to as low as 32F for brief periods. We had seedlings that survived low 40's temperatures with little problem. Propagation: By seed. Native to India and Southern China. -- http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/midnight_horror.htm
