BRISBANE’S FLOWER.
Named after John and Caspar Bauhin, twin brothers, and famous botanists of the 17th century, the Bauhinia are very showy flowering trees, and climbers, native in India, Mexico, Jamaica, South Africa, South America, and our own State. They are hardy, free flowering, and easily propagated from seed. Those usually seen about Brisbane are Bauhinia varlegata, with purplish flowers, and B. candida with white flowers, both of which flower after leaves have fallen off. They are good subjects for street planting. Other kinds grown are Bauhinia purpurea, that flowers with the tree in foliage, and Bauhinia Galplni. the coral red flowering rambling shrub from Nalal, Bauhinia hookeri the Queensland Ebony, is a beautiful
small leaved tree, slow in growth, but flowers profusely.
