Talk:Bauhinia

Untitled
This is amazing tree. Easy to grow. Also as a bonsai (it was a surprise for me). I have in next to my house, that's why I have some seeds of this orchid tree. Let me know if you need. I live in Israel, but I guess it wouldn't be a problem to send worldwide.

Can anyone identify this?
Can anyone identify this flower? It's certainly some kind of bauhinia, and while I'm about 90% sure it's B. purpurea, I don't want to start using it on anything until it's positively identified. It was taken on 1 March on Lantau island, Hong Kong, if that helps narrow it down... —  iride  scent  19:05, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I think that's an Azalea. It doesn't appear to be a Bauhinia at all. B. pupurea has entirely pink flowers without any white. CalamusFortis (talk) 17:43, 6 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Huh... shows how much I know. Thanks! —  iride  scent  18:02, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Problematic pictures
The article includes two pictures which may be not quite right:
 * 1) [[File:Bauhinia thonningii00.jpg]] – purportedly of species †Bauhinia thonningii, which the article lists as a fossil; and
 * 2) [[File:Bauhinia vahlii in Ananthagiri forest, AP W IMG 9204.jpg]] – of the species Phanera vahlii, which is not strictly speaking a "Bauhinia", but belongs to the sister genus Phanera.

Should they remain here? yoyo (talk) 09:08, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
 * You are right yoyo - moved to genus Phanera: also updated. I think it is difficult to keep track with the species list - so am moving old version below here - useful to have a record of the updates (I have only managed to do some of the other genera). Roy Bateman (talk) 03:29, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
 * P. thonningii is a synonym of Piliostigma thonningii. Roy Bateman (talk) 04:03, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @Roy Bateman Thanks for acting on this. Yes indeed, how does one keep up with revisions in taxonomy! yoyo (talk) 05:11, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
