This must be an extremely handsome plant from the rich 
scarlet colour of the entire panicles of flowers, and the rose- 
colour of the fruit, according to Dr. Roxburgh ; who further 
observes that S. colorata forms a very large tree, which casts its 
leaves during the cold season and flowers in April, soon after 
which the foliage again makes its appearance.
