If you have a reference work that lists tropical trees, check Delonix
regia.  If you do not have a good reference on tropicals, I suggest "In
Gardens of Hawaii" by Marie C. Neal, Published by Bishop Museum Press
(I.S.B.N. 0-910240-33-7).  If you have Alta Vista, you might want to check
out the Bishop Museum Press.  I understand that a Revision is coming out
soon...  How long?  Don't know.  It is an excellent reference at about
$40.00.  925 pages in one volume..
