木棉花(bombax ceiba)，又名攀枝花、紅棉樹或英雄樹，是一種在熱帶及亞熱帶地區生長的落葉大喬木，高10－20公尺。
樹幹基部密生瘤刺，以防止動物的侵入。枝輪生，葉互生。木棉花的樹幹雖然粗大，但木質太軟，所以用途不大。

樹木的原產地不詳，但很可能源自印度。它隨著移民被廣泛種植於馬來半島、印度尼西亞、華南、香港及台灣。根據中國的古籍記載，南越王趙佗曾在公元前2世紀向漢室天朝獻上木棉樹一株。

棉絮與種子
每年2－3月份先開花，後長葉。花冠五瓣，橙黃或橙紅色，通常在早春長出，比樹葉更早出現。花萼黑褐色，革質。花後結橢圓形碩果，約莫在5月時，果實會裂開，內裡的卵圓形種子連同白色的棉絮會隨風四散。由於華南不產棉花，所以歷年當地居民都會在棉絮飄時搜集棉絮，用以代替棉花來作棉襖的填充料。

生命力頑強的木棉籽。即使是極惡劣的生存環境，亦能夠發芽生長。




文化含義
木棉樹是廣州市及高雄市的市花。由於它的樹身高大粗壯，在華南有把它與英雄相比。香港的已故流行樂壇泰斗羅文就有一曲《紅棉》，以木棉樹來比喻華人的傲骨。此外，亦為金門縣的縣樹，象徵當地民性堅毅，未來發展前途燦爛。
另外，香港島的金鐘亦有一條紅棉道，位於香港公園的紅棉道婚姻註冊處亦是香港人結婚的熱門地點。
