Very nice-I've never heard of this Erythrina before.  Do you ever collect seeds?  Thanks for all the photos!

I wonder if this could be the so called 'dwarf falcata' in Balboa Park, San Diego?

Very nice... another species I've seen only as photos AFAIK.

If possible, can you post foliage pics? As Peter suggested, we've got a similar tree in SoCal called E. falcata "dwarf", a rather dubious name for an Erythrina with pendant flowers that blooms very young (regular E. falcata typically takes many years to bloom, even from cuttings). The thought is that perhaps the "dwarf" is actually another species; E. verna is one of those possibilities.

SoCal and SoFla; zone varies by location.

Se possível, você pode postar folhagem fotos? Como Peter sugeriu, temos uma árvore semelhante em SoCal chamado  E. falcata  "anão", um nome bastante duvidosa para uma  Erythrina  com pingente de flores que floresce muito jovem (regular  E. falcata  normalmente leva muitos anos para florescer, mesmo a partir de estacas). O pensamento é que talvez o "anão" é na verdade uma outra espécie;  E. Verna  é uma dessas possibilidades.

Erytrina verna are totally deciduous and flowers are bright red ,   trees are high up to 20 meters. Erytrina falcata not become totally deciduous and flowers are coral , they are native of my region, tomorrow I will try to shoot them. When E verna  sprout sending the photo of leaves.

Thanks much for the pictures. The calyx is considerably larger and encloses more of the corolla in E. falcata than it does in E. verna.

Looks like E. verna isn't a match for our "dwarf" falcata.

 

Do you receive any frost in your area? I know that E. falcata takes light frost here in California, but no experience with E. verna here. If both species grow on similar sites, perhaps E. verna could make it through our winters? Does E. speciosa grow locally as well?
