Hi,

Gilma, here in Brazil, the common name is "pata de vaca".

Tks,

Luiz

http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/164... This is the one I have, it is a mature tree.

Orchid Tree, Bauhinia purpurea. It is a beautiful tree, if it is the same I have, it gives gorgeous purple flowers, mine blooms nonstop all year. It has a lot of names, Orchid tree, Casco de venado, Camel's foot tree, Kachnar and Mountain-ebony.

Yes, you are correct, but unfortunately, there is no flower in this season. Thanks again!

Bauhinia species. Flowers would have been a better clue to get the exact species. :)
