Hibiscus rosa-sinensis
The word "bunga" in Malay means "flower", while "raya" in Malay means "celebratory" or "grand". The "Hibiscus rosa-sinensis" is literally known as the "celebratory flower" in Malay. The red of the petals symbolizes the courage, life, and rapid growth of the Malaysian, and the five petals represent the five "Rukun Negara" of Malaysia. The flower can be found imprinted on the notes and coins of the Malaysian ringgit.
