Amherstia

Amherstia nobilis (Burmese: သော်ကကြီး [θɔ̀ka̰ dʑí]; the Pride of Burma, in the family Fabaceae) is a tropical tree with large, showy flowers.

[2] Another common name, orchid tree, is also used for members of the genus Bauhinia.

The compound leaves bear 6 - 8 large leaflets; these are broadly oblong in shape and are pallid underneath.

[citation needed] The fruits (legumes) are 11 to 20 centimetres long.

They are roughly scimitar-shaped pods, and the woody outer case opens to disperse the seeds.
