Legume family
Royal poinciana (Delonix regia (Bojer ex Hook.) Raf.), also called flamboyant, flame tree or flame of the forest, is a leguminous tree in the family Fabaceae, grown for its broad umbrella canopy and spectacular masses of scarlet-orange flowers in summer; in Vietnam it is the familiar “schoolboy flower” that shades schoolyards. According to Kew POWO it is native to Madagascar and widely cultivated throughout the tropics and subtropics. It has bipinnate leaves and five-petalled flowers with a larger standard petal streaked white and yellow; its tissues contain flavonoids (quercetin, kaempferol, rhamnetin, isorhamnetin), anthocyanins, tannins, sterols and a seed galactomannan gum.
