Rumduol (Khmer: រំដួល [rumɗuəl]) is derived from the Rumduol flower, scientifically known as Metrella mesnyi. The plant was proclaimed Cambodia's national flower in 2005 by royal decree, and is of cultural and ecological importance. Rumduol is not only a symbol of beauty but also holds cultural and medicinal significance. Several places in Cambodia share the name, reflecting the flower's prominence in the country.https://intocambodia.org/content/romduol-flower-metralla-mesnyi-national-flower-cambodia
