Re: Sheldon's Mystery Tree

Sheldon,

I may be wrong but I believe that all the Erythrina are just once pinnate whereas your leaves are obviously twice pinnate. I'll try and do some checking on that character tomorrow when I have the right books in front of me.

I just finished an online search for Erythrina crista-galli.  Such beautiful flowers!!  Oh, how I wish that were my tree, but the leaves are wrong.  The descriptions given on the net were for only 3 leaflets per leaf.  Mine has dozens of leaflets per leaf.  The furrowing of the bark is also noticeably different.  Oh, woe!! and back to the drawing board.

Erythrina crista-galli is the other tree that comes to mind, especially now that I see the bark.
