[Assam] Palash - AT

[Ram Sarangapani]

The AT has a beautiful photo of palash (palax) (the flower).
While trying to find the English equivalent, I came across this site - with
beautiful flowers. Didn't know palash comes in yellow.

They give the scientific name as Butea frondosa (Flame of the Forest).
What would be the common English name. I don't think I have seen it around
Texas.

Wasn't there an old song - which went 'Poloxor e rong'  (Color of polox)?
