The Royal Poinciana is a tropical or subtropical flowering plant. It has been described as the most colourful tree in the world. The tree's vivid red/orange flowers and bright green foliage in any case make it an exceptionally striking sight. The Royal Poinciana is native to Madagascar, where it is found in the West Malagasy forest. In the wild it is endangered, but it is widely cultivated elsewhere. In addition to its ornamental value, it is also a useful shade tree in tropical conditions, because it usually grows to a modest height (typically around 5 metres, though it can reach as high as 12 metres) but spreads widely, and its dense foliage provides full shade. In areas with a marked dry season, it sheds its leaves during the drought, but in other areas it is virtually evergreen.
