Delonix regia, commonly known as the Royal Poinciana, Flamboyant, or Flame Tree, is a spectacularly ornamental deciduous tree native to Madagascar but widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions around the world for its striking appearance. Belonging to the Fabaceae family, it is renowned for its broad, umbrella-like canopy and brilliant, fiery red to orange flowers that bloom in large clusters, typically during the late spring and early summer, creating a vivid display that often dominates landscapes. The tree can grow up to 10–12 meters tall, with a spread that often exceeds its height, and features feathery, fern-like bipinnate leaves that provide a delicate, lacy texture and light shade. Delonix regia is highly valued in urban landscaping, along avenues, parks, and gardens, not only for its ornamental appeal but also for its shade and aesthetic contribution. The tree produces flat, dark brown seed pods that persist after flowering and contain hard seeds capable of germinating in tropical climates. While moderately fast-growing, it prefers well-drained soils and full sun exposure and is relatively drought-tolerant once established, although it is sensitive to frost. Beyond its visual beauty, the Royal Poinciana has ecological importance, attracting pollinators such as bees, birds, and butterflies, and providing habitat for small wildlife. Its striking combination of vivid flowers, graceful foliage, and expansive canopy has made Delonix regia a symbol of tropical beauty and a favorite choice for decorative planting in suitable climates worldwide.
