Right. They are called dwarf poincianas or peacock bushes as well. What do you call them? Here in Mexico, they are called Tabachines, as are the grander Royal Poincianas, which are also called Flamboyant trees (pronounced flamboyan’) here or Flame trees in Africa! Here is the most complete list of common names for the poinciana:Flame-of-the-forest, Semarak Api, Merak, Flamboyan, Fleur-de-paradis, Red Flame, Phoenix tree, Royal Poinciana, Flame Tree, Poinciana, Flamboyant Tree, Gul Mohur, Semarkat Api, Sepanggil. What do you call them? I think we have talked about this before, but I’ve forgotten.
