| Description |
Common name: Mayflower, Flame Tree, Royal Poinciana, Peacock Flower, Gulmohar गुलमोहर (Hindi) Botanical name: Delonix regia - [ (dee-LON-iks) or (DEE-loh-niks) from the Greek delos (conspicuous) and onux (claw), referring to the long-clawed petals; (REE-jee-uh) royal ] Synonyms: Caesalpinia regia, Poinciana regia Family: Caesalpiniaceae - [ (Seez-al-pin-ee-uh--see-ay) from the generic name Caesalpinia ] Origin: Madagascar Discovered in the early 19th century in its native Madagascar by botanist Wensel Bojer. Gulmohar is a flamboyant tree in flower - some say the world's most colorful tree. For several weeks in spring and summer it is covered with exuberant clusters of flame-red flowers, 4-5 in across. Even up close the individual flowers are striking: they have four spoon shaped spreading scarlet or orange-red petals about 3 in long, and one upright slightly larger petal (the standard) which is marked with yellow and white. The delicate, fern-like leaves are composed of small individual leaflets, which fold up at the onset of dusk.
