Elizabetha coccinea and Dahlstedtia pinnata

[fastfeat]

Does anyone have info on cultivation of these two legumes?

Someone from another site sent me a gorgeous pic of Elizabetha
coccinea, though I'm refraining from posting it for now for personal
reasons. If I can get permission, I will. It's in Caesalpinioideae and
has large, pinkish-orange flowers with very long stamens. Leaves are
pinnately compound. From what I've found online, it's native to
Guiana. Otherwise, I know nothing...

The second, Dahlstedtia pinnata, may be spelled incorrectly. A Google
search gave only one listing, though I found more a couple of years
ago under, I thought, this spelling. I saw it as a well-shaped,
evergreen tree with bright red, cauliflorous flowers on scaffold
branches. Though it grew well and apparently set seed there, I wasn't
able to collect any. It was a nice small tree worthy of cultivation in
CA. I don't know about its tolerances elsewhere.

OK, since I can't edit here, a couple of comments--

When I Googled Dahlstedtia again (spelled the same way), I got over
2600 references. Don't know what I did the first time. Anyway, it is
in subfamily Faboideae and is native to Brazil. It is rare in SoCal;
the only one I saw was at LA Arboretum. It had been there for at least
twenty years, so it must take some frost.

Would love to see the photos when you get permission. I always love to
see 'new' trees, although it usually will make me frustated, as some
are hard to find here.

Elizabetha coccinea is one of those "holy grail" plants: said to be
very attractive, but very rare.
Hope you get permission to post the photo!
