Bauhinia purpurea, Linn. (B. triandra, Roxbg.). Small to middle-sized tree: Lvs. coriaceous, glabrous, somewhat cordate, cleft one-third to one-half their depth, 9-11- nerved; lobes obtuse or somewhat acute: fls. in few- fld. axillary and terminal corymbs, fragrant; petals red, one streaked with white on the claw, oblanceolate, acute; fertile stamens 3-4, very long, the rest sterile or abortive: pod 1 ft. long. India, Burma, China.—One of the finest flowering small trees in S. Fla. Fls. are borne in the greatest profusion, 3-5 in. across, varying in color from almost white to a shade of rich purple, and marked and shaded with many tones. The plant is robust and hardy, growing to a height of 15 ft. in less than 2 years, and blooms all winter and spring. What is known as B. triandra to Fla. cultivators is described as a very tender species but succeeding admirably there; growth like that of B. purpurea but with longer willowy branches that bear at the tips great clusters of pink fls. in late autumn or early winter, delicately scented.
