Here I attached the two images of a Bauhinia species found in evergreen forests, especially seen near the forest streams.
Is it Bauhinia purpera?
Expert please identify this medium tree seen near the forest streams. Red Orchid Bush or Red Orchid Tree I don’t believe that this is B. punctata (B. galpinii), which is more of a scrambler or arching shrub. I have seldom seen them taller than 15’/m, with support. Also, B. punctata lacks the colored new foliage shown, as well as having a more rounded leaf. I fully agree with … Bauhinia galpinii is scrambler or arching shrub medium height shrub. i too believe that this is not a B.punctata (B.galpinii).. i believe that it may be the red form of B.purperea This mysterious Bauhinia surely cannot be B. purpurea, because the shape of the petals is very different. In addition, B. purpurea has Yes … B. galpinii seems to be the closest match (Bailey keys it as only species with brick red flowers), but presence of 5 stamens can’t be easily ignored (atleast in this genus, where sectional classification is often based on number of stamens). This also seems to have narrower petals and thinner leaves with much more prominent veins. Let explore further. Pl check it for Bauhinia phoenicea.
http://culturesheet.org/fabaceae:bauhinia:phoenicea Yes … You have got it finally. It is reported to be common in western Ghats. This is what my Brandis writes: A gigantic climber. Leaves glabrous above, minutely hairy beneath. Flowers bright crimson. Calyx tube as long as the 5 linear-lanceolate segments. Petals 1.5 inch long, claw linear, as long as ovate-lanceolate limb. Stamens 5. Pod downy, 6 by 1 inch. Thanks …, for the validation. There is no much info about this sp in the net. The species also occurs in Northeast i suppose.
This is a revelation for me! Bauhinia phoenicea seems to be the right id. Just to add to the description provided by …, Just one more thing to add:
