설명1)

A slow-growing, small tree with very large heads of red flowers which hang beneath the foliage. The leaflets are aristate, having an elongated apex. This species is less spreading than other brownia species, with some branches ascending. The leaves have 5-7 leaflets and are uniformly pinky brown when young. The inflorescences, which occur on the old twigs as well as the ends of the branches, are less densely packed than other species, but the flowers are somewhat larger giving a more lax look to the lanterns. The petals have a more magenta hue. The dark brown pods are not hairy. Brownea capitella is sometimes considered a subspecies of Brownea coccinea, which has small, bright red inflorescences and hairless green twigs. Close related species - Brownea grandiceps, Brownea ariza.

Noteworthy Characteristics

Brownea coccinea subsp. capitella, commonly known as rose of Venezuela or scarlet flame bean, is a small evergreen tree native to wooded valleys and other low elevation areas of Venezuela, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, and northern Brazil. Mature specimens will reach up to 25' tall with a spreading canopy up to 35' wide. May only reach 15' tall in cultivation. The compound leaves emerge light pink to brown in color and appear limp and drooping. As the foliage matures it becomes green and turgid. Terminal clusters of 25-30 bright red, tubular flowers bloom seasonally. The flowers can reach 2-3" long and are attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies. Narrow, brown seed pods form after the flowers and can reach up to 9.5" long.

 

Genus name honors Irish physician Patrick Browne (1720-1790).

 

The specific epithet coccinea means "red", in reference to the color of the flowers. The infraspecific epithet capitella means "having a small head" or "small-headed", in reference to the size of the inflorescence compared to other related taxa.
