description_en: Genus of 10 species of deciduous, semi-evergreen, or evergreen trees from open, dry forest in Madagascar, tropical Africa, and India. They have elegant, alternate, 2-pinnate, fern-like leaves, and produce large, terminal, corymb-like racemes of irregularly shaped, 5-petalled flowers. In frost-prone areas, grow in a temperate greenhouse as foliage plants, since they rarely flower in a container. In warmer areas, they make effective specimen or shade trees.
