5. I don’t think this is a gulmohar tree (this would be delonix regia).
   The botanic name of the pictured flower is “caesalpinia pulcherrima” (pea plants family “Fabaceae”)

11. I know this flower as the pride of barbados. There is a very similar type of flora called the flamboyant, but that is a tree. This flower, if I am not mistaken, seems to be from a bush.

12. In Bangladesh it is called KrishnaChura. There are 2 versions, one tree has red flowers and another tree has orange flowers. The orange one is called RadhaChura. The names Radha and Krishna are from the ancient Hindu religion. The god of arts - Krishna, always plays a flute and Radha his consort.

16. This is NOT Gulmohar for SURE

    It is called “Shankasura” in Maharashtra (India)
    The image shows the colour commonly found, and as rightly said by Gerda above, it blooms also in pink en yellow.

29. Gulmohar from India - also known as ‘flame of the forest’ as that’s how it appears when a tree is in full bloom!

    Comment by Vicious — May 3, 2009 @ 9:09 am

30. It is not gulmohar..it is called Rajamalli in kerala

    Comment by seema — June 26, 2009 @ 2:06 am

31. I have grown this plant in southern California. It is not the tree known as Flamboyan or Royal Poinciana or Gulmohar, which is seen all over tropical climes, but a dwarf relative, a bush that can be pruned into a small tree. Answer #5 above is correct, it is Caesalpinia pulcherrima, also called Mexican Bird of Paradise, also Dwarf Poinciana, and in Barbados it is called Pride of Barbados, or Flower Fence because its many thorns make it serve as a good fence.

32. In Suriname (South America), we call it the krerekrere. Probably brought by ancestors of the indian people from india.
