Pomelo flower

Citrus maxima, or Citrus grandis

Description:

Typical "citrus"flower in looks.

Habitat:

Farmhouse in Village Bakrahaat near Kolkta. This had a banana garden and a guava garden; other trees were largely left to nature's whims.

Notes:

Called Batapi-lebu in West Bengal, India. Jambura in Bangladesh. Kids in pre-partition India (pre-1947) used fruits of this tree as footballs...the size and shape is perfectly like one and trees grow wild.
