Fabaceae – Mimosoideae – Bangalore – RA – Calliandra haematocephala – Pink Powder Puff Tree:
Rambling shrub or small tree with branched pinnate, silky leaves and powder-puff-like balls of conspicuous dark crimson stamens. Calliandra haematocephala is a fast growing shrub that can grow tall but also spreads wide. If desired it can be kept smaller by trimmed. Interesting enough the leaves close at night.
The red powder puff flower are attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds but only appear from November -April.
The buds before the flowers open look like raspberries.
This large shrub can be grown indoor if trimmed and grown in a pot but it will be best if you can grow it outside in a warm climate

Req- Plant for ID-3: Need full tree image
Calliandra haematocephala or Calliandra emarginata Thnaks for reply. These photographs are taken by a relative who is not familiar how to take snaps of a plant. No other photos of this plant are available with me. Let us wait for some more opinions. The leaf pattern is not suggestive of C. emarginata. It appears to be Calliandra hematocephala as suggested by … I hope it is a small and not a very big tree.

The leaves looked bigger than the Calliandra haematocephala, is this the case for the ‘alba’ variety? efi page on Calliandra haematocephala Calliandra– species in India & eFI with details & some keys. I think it is better to watch out for the plant to bloom. The alba variety has larger leaflets and is often a larger more sprawling plant.
