Coral tree/ Koraalboom

Hi Stacey,

Mostly in the flower shape and colour, E. caffra more an orange an brown colour. See below description and link as cited from http://www.plantzafrica.com/plantefg/ery...
As with all other erythrinas, the leaves are typically trifoliate (three leaflets), which are broadly ovate (egg-shaped) to elliptic (oval and narrowed to rounded ends, widest at or about the middle), the terminal leaflet being the largest, 80-160 x 80-180 mm. The lateral leaves are slightly smaller and without hairs or prickles. The leaflet petiole (leaflet stalk) is up to 160 mm long and with or without prickles. The leaves closely resemble those of a sister species, E. lysistemon (sacred coral tree), which is why it was for many years thought to be the same species. When not in flower it can be rather difficult to tell the two species apart.

Thanks Jaco I'll update my info. Whats the difference between the two?

This is not E. caffra it is E. lysistemon
