Charlie, can you remember what the street trees are in Madeira that they
call the tulip trees? They're not Liriodendrons but are pink with white
bits and have rather waxy petals. We looked them up while we were there
and
have promptly forgotten again. Old age creeping on, obviously!

Do you mean the Kapok trees? Chorisia speciosa
