This tree, when in bloom, is covered with a 
profusion of rich scarlet flowers, variously spotted 
with yellow, and these, with the delicate foliage, 
excited the remark from some writer, that here 
nature excelled herself.” Unfortunately the 
flowering season of this tree is in the middle of the 
year when few visitors are here. The seed pods 
are dark brown about 18 inches long, flat, 2 inches 
broad and pointed.
