The Romduol flower, also known as Mitrella mesnyi, is the national flower of Cambodia, officially designated by King Sihamoni in 2005. This small, yellowish-white flower is celebrated for its beauty and aromatic fragrance, which becomes more potent at night. The Romduol plant can grow between 8 and 15 meters tall, with yellowish-brown bark and long, flat leaves. Its flowers are light-skinned and have a spherical, dense blossom with three petals stretched out and three curving inside. The fruit of the Romduol turns dark red when mature and is harvested for its delicious taste.
The Romduol flower is significant in Cambodian culture, often compared to Khmer women for its beauty and elegance. It is used in traditional medicine, essential oils, and as a decorative item. The flower's fragrance is so strong that it can be detected from kilometers away. The Romduol is also a popular motif in Cambodian literature, songs, and public decorations.
