From Funchal, Madeira. A handsome
ornamental tree, bearing large cordate 
acute leaves with long petioles,
and beautiful pink flowers in pendulous 
many-flowered umbels. This rapidly 
growing tree is an ornament of
value aside from its flowers. It seems
to be a rather tender plant but is said
to be suited to our southern climate.
Propagates easily from cuttings.
