A wide, umbrella tree of scarlet pea-blossoms, so bright in the dry season that whole avenues look on fire.
Care. Give heat, full sun, and space; it is brittle in wind and dies back at the first real frost.
A note. It is Madagascar's flamboyant tree, now planted across the tropics under a dozen local names.
