The Latin name for Gul Mohur is Delonix regia. It belongs to the family
Leguminosae and is commonly called flamboyant, flame-tree or peacock
flower tree. It is a very attractive, widely planted street tree in
India, with compound leaves consisting of a large number of tiny
leaflets and, more importantly, very conspicuous and attractive scarlet
flowers.  A large volume of information has been published on this tree
in horticultural and forestry literature.
