Peltophorum dubium (Spreng.) Taub. (Syn: Brasilettia dubia (Spreng.) Kuntze; Caesalpinia dubia Spreng.; Peltophorum vogelianum Benth.; Peltophorum vogelianum Walp.; Peltophorum vogelianum f. ferruginea Chodat & Hassl.; Peltophorum vogelianum f. glabrata Chodat & Hassl.; Peltophorum vogelianum f. intermedia Chodat & Hassl.); Tropical American species, this is very commonly escaped in Central Florida, esp. common near Orlando's Disney World. It is a "big bang" bloomer that comes into bloom for a few weeks in spring/early summer in Florida, a couple of months before P. pterocarpum. It takes considerably more cold than P. pterocarpum, and can be distinguished easily by its thinner-textured pods. http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z93/fastfeat/Pelto_bigedit.jpg http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z93/fastfeat/Florida4132006012.jpg http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z93/fastfeat/Pelto_dub_close-up.jpg http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z93/fastfeat/Peltophorumdubium_lvspods.jpg References: |
