Leaves are thickly papery, shallowly cordate at the base, apically lobed to 1\/3–1\/2 of the leaf length, with rounded or subacute lobe apices; both surfaces are glabrous, or the abaxial surface is sparsely puberulent. Racemes are lateral or terminal, few-flowered; petals are pinkish-red and oblanceolate. Pods are strap-shaped, flat and slightly falcate; at maturity, the pods dehisce, with woody valves twisting to eject the seeds; seeds are suborbicular and flat, with a dark brown testa. Flowering occurs usually from September to November, and fruiting from February to March. This species is widely cultivated, serving as an ornamental tree for gardens, a street tree and a greening tree; its bark, flowers and roots are used medicinally, but the bark is highly toxic and strictly prohibited for oral administration.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"BELLFARM","offers":[{"title":"25 Seeds","offer_id":51833946636570,"sku":"UP-1704-choice","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/2106\/8058\/files\/4ab192374b269ccf8ce1f33f9b2952e7.jpg?v=1773715483","url":"https:\/\/timergarden.com\/products\/bauhinia-purpurea-seeds-up1704","provider":"MUCIAKIE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
