Buckeye

...The leaflets are slightly smaller than those of the horse chestnut, the underside is hairless, the edges are sharply serrated, and the protrusions on the fruit are thorn-like. The red-flowered horse chestnut, A. carnea Hayne, is a hybrid between the horse chestnut and A. pavia L. (English name: buckeye), a North American native with bright red flowers, and is sometimes planted as well. [Toshio Hamatani]
[Folklore, origin of the name]
The game of smashing horse chestnuts into each other's chestnuts by threading them on a string is popular in England and is called "conker."
