I'm currently reading a book in which a 'flamboyant tree' is mentioned (as a

either of these are?

Poinciana regia. I did once hear the latter, but have forgotten.


Thanks, Nick. I did a Google image search on it and it's a gorgeous thing
and well named in terms of flamboyance!
The only think I can think of tea wise is Rootbusch tea (sp?) which I saw in
South Africa and which is now very popular here. The book(s) are set in
Botswana so I imagine the same kind of plant would be used for tea there.
