Spathodea campanulata- African Tulip Tree

            I saw this tree in Maui, Hawaii, where Spathodea campanulata is an introduced plant which has become invasive. It is native to tropical Africa and has been nominated as among 100 of the "World's Worst" invaders.
In Hawaii, African Tulip Tree grows in wet to moderately wet areas at lower elevations. Because of its colourful flowers, this common tree is easy to spot amidst the other forest trees.
