'''''Saraca''''' [[Carolus Linnaeus|L.]] is a [[genus]] in the [[family]] [[Fabaceae]] ([[legume]] family) of about seventy [[plant]] [[species]] of [[tree]] native to the lands from [[India]], [[China]] and [[Ceylon]] to [[Malaysia]] and [[Sulawesi|Celebes]]. The trees are grown in warm humid climates, and prefer a moist well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter. They can also be grown within greenhouses. The trees themselves are grown for their upturned flowers which have clusters in yellow, orange or red. The trees flowers have no petals, but contain brightly colored sepals, and have stamens projecting up to eight inches long. The leaves are [[pinnate]] and have paired leaflets. Typically, these trees are accustomed to the shade of other trees. Most species of ''Saraca'' are [[tree]]s characteristic of particular streams. {{Inc| Saraca (from Sarac, the name of the genus in India). Leguminosae. Unarmed trees, grown in the warmhouse.
