Botanical name: Caesalpinia ferrea Family: Caesalpiniaceae (Gulmohar family)
Brazilian Ironwood is a beautiful tree with white and chocolate flaking
bark and pendant, flowing branchlets of compound leaves. The bark of the
Brazilian Ironwood is the single most attractive feature of the plant. The
pattern formed by the flaking bark inspired the name "Leopard Tree". The
other captivating feature of the tree is the long, drooping branchlets with
feathery leaves. The leaves are double-compound, with broadly oval, rounded
leaflets. The flowers are yellow, but unfortunately occur mostly near the
top, and hence not easy to observe. They are small, fragrant, yellow, and
the standard petal has reddish markings. As the name suggests, the tree is
native to Brazil.
