The Pachira aquatica has many common names including Mexican fortune tree, braided money tree, malabar chestnut, guiana chestnut and a few others. 

Growing in it's natural habitat - this native to south and central America plant grows in swamps up to 20 metres tall, which is surprising considering how well it's adapted to become an easy to care for  indoor tree.

 

The photo shows two Mexican fortune trees growing at the Fruit Garden of Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG).
