PERFUME TREE 
Ylang-Ylang or Canangium odoratum 
KURRAJONG 
(Brachychiton populneus) 
BRACHYCHITON RAMIFLORA. This 
small evergreen Australian bears sparse 
red flowers in the axils near branch ends. 
The leaves are almost round. 
STINKER (Sterculia foetida). This 
tall and handsome Indian tree with beau- 
tiful foliage is famous for the evil smell 
of its reddish flowers. Don’t plant it 
near your house. 
PANAMA TREE (Sterculia apetala). 
Beautiful tree with 24-inch leaves, des- 
cribed in my 1947 catalog. 
ABYSSINIAN WATTLE (Acacia abys- 
sinica). Splendid small tree for dry area 
with copious yellow flowers. It is culti- 
vated as an ornamental in Arizona. 
PIPTADENIA. This genus of trees 
with small yellow pea flowers and thorny 
branches is almost unknown in Florida. 
MORETON BAY FIG (Ficus macro- 
phylla). This Australian shade tree at- 
tains great size. 
FLORIDA CALABASH  (Enallagma 
latifolia). This dense evergreen Florida 
native tree is rare in cultivation. The 
flowers are inconspicuous. 
PARADISE TREE (Simaruba glauca). 
This Florida native evergreen tree has 
pretty foliage and inconspicuous flowers. 
*BARRINGTONIA. There are four 
species of these evergreen South Sea trees 
in my garden, but they are generally con- 
sidered too tender for Florida. 
BOMBAX SP. (Evans & Reeves). Seed 
collected in Mexico. These small plants 
are very different from the Bembax we 
know in Florida, with simple, poplar-like 
leaves. Flowers not seen. 
KAPOK (Ceiba pentandra). This is 
the true Kapok tree of commerce. It 
makes a gigantic tree with enormous 
buttresses. Its small, dirty-white flowers 
are not pretty. 
BAUHINIA SP. No. 2026. Grown 
from seed collected in Venezuela, this is a 
new white-flowered, slightly thorny small 
tree with yellow-green foliage. 
BAUHINIA CARRONI. This 30-foot 
tree of northern Australia bears clustered 
pink flowers along the branches. 
TRINIDAD BAUHINIA (B. megalan- 
dra). This is a thrifty, white-flowered 25 
foot orchid tree from the Lesser Antilles. 
*ENTELEA (E. arborescens). Rare, 
beautiful, acid-loving, hard-to-grow small 
tree from New Zealand, bearing pretty 
white flowers. 
*HUME’S CORAL ,Erythrina hume- 
ana). This is far and away the hand- 
somest Erythrina I have ever seen in 
bloom. Developed in California by 
Evans & Reeves.
