Try http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/56220/index.html
This is one of those screwed up nomenclature things. Half the world [including Selby BG] calls it Pachira aquatica; the other half [including MoBot] calls it Bombax glabrum. Teague went with MoBot in the book, which is probably right. I think P. aquatica is a much bigger tree with much bigger fruits.

I saw some of your pics of B ceiba at Dave's but there was nothing for B. glabrum. Very nice of B ceiba, though I suppose not the ones you had published.

Two each of the red silk cotton tree [Bombax ceiba] and the Malabar chestnut tree [Bombax glabrum].

"Tropical & Garden Flower Identification" by Graeme Teague. 18 Rabbit Press, Adel, GA. List is $35.00, which seems stiff but maybe from the number of color photos--more than 500--it's not so far out. Anyway, my four pix are nicely presented.
