Description
Bauhinia variegata and Bauhinia purpurea are very similar looking trees. It is very difficult to tell them apart. The former has very pale pink or white coloured flowers with the some petals variegated while the flowers of the latter are pink to purple. Like in all Bauhinias the leaves are split in the middle which is very characteristic. Both the species considered here are indigenous. B. purpurea comes into flower when in leaf while B.variegata looses most of its leaves when in flower. The trees bear long flat pods which hang and are conspicuous.
