Dear Sir,

I have collected Caesalpinia pulcherrima with three colour variation. I have consulted IPNI, POWO, The Plant List but it was not possible for me to come with any final conclusion. I am sending the picture of plants with two colour variation. May I request you help me to get the exact nomenclature. 

With warm regards,

Dr. Biswajit Roy

Thanks, Promila ji.

Hi, Biswajit ji,

Pl. go through efi site pages at Caesalpinia pulcherrima & Caesalpinia pulcherrima f. flava

At the most, you can talk of them as different forms.

Promila

i did not realize that ... this is peacock flower is also known as krishnachura and radha chura. 

i thought krishnachura is delonix regia... in its red/scarlet// or yellow flower varieties.

and

radhachura is one of the peltoforums ...esp copper pod variety

well, live and learn i guess.

or there is a mix up in colloquial names used by  mali and vendors.

I don't have pictures

seen in botanical garden in Miami in the 80s

white and yellow varieties, and red...

our  krishnacuraie  Delonix regia was very common in southern florida nurseries then

 fallen out of favor it seems because hurricanes uproot them...

just like they do it here in southern 24 paraganas in west Bengal....
