Pale Trumpet Tree is a shrub or small tree. Leaves are
mostly 1-foliolate, sometimes 3-foliate - the leaflets elliptic to
elliptic-oblong, blunt, basally rounded, papery, scaly. Flowers are
borne in a few-flowered branch-end panicle, often reduced to one or 2
flowers. Flowers are with the sepal-cup cup-shaped, two-lipped, scaly;
flowers pinkish- lavender to almost white, the throat opening yellow;
tubular-funnel-shaped; stamens didynamous, the thecae divaricate.
Capsules are linear-cylindric, narrowed at both ends, 7-15 cm long,
scaly, the sepal-cup persistent. Pale Trumpet Tree is native to Leeward
and Windward Islands, cultivated elsewhere.
