Etymology

The term 'poinciana' derives from the name of the 18th-century French botanist and horticulturist, M. Poinci, who is credited with introducing several ornamental plants to Europe from tropical regions. The genus was formally described in 1775 by the French botanist Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck. The plants are known for their vibrant flowers and foliage, making them popular in tropical and subtropical landscapes. Over the years, the poinciana has become associated with various regions, often symbolizing warmth and beauty due to its distinctive appearance during blooming seasons. The tree has also been widely cultivated outside its native range, often celebrated in parks and gardens for its stunning ornamental qualities.
