Read about Erythrina grandiflorum in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Erythrina grandiflorum, Pursh (E. giganteum, Lindl.). Scape 1-2 ft. high: Lvs. broadly lanceolate, to 6 in. long, acute and short-cuspidate, unmottled: scape slender, 3-5-fld.; fls. very bright yellow; petals recurved; anthers yellow. E. Ore. to Brit. Col. Var. album, Hort. (E. montanum. Hort.). Like the type, except the fls. are white, yellowish at center, and with a slight greenish cast. Var. minus, Morr., is smaller.—E. grandiflorum grows from very high mountains to (at one point) little above the sea-level. In cult, the high mountain form starts very late and is difficult to grow, while the sea- level form (var. robustum, Purdy) is an easy subject. In some localities the anthers are red, as in var. Nuttallianum, Purdy (E. Nuttallianum, Schult.), in others both red and yellow, but as a rule yellow. The so-called var. minor is small merely from less favorable situation. By some, the E. giganteum, Lindl., is kept distinct. G.C. 111.43:212. J.H. III. 58:397. G.M.53:359. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
