 Anther dimorphism, differential anther dehiscence, pollen viability and pollination success in caesalpinia pulcherrimma ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The inflorescence is a compound raceme with primary, secondary, tertiary and quarternary branches emerging from a common axis and blooms in an acropetal succession.
The flowers bloom between 5.30 and 6.30 h and bloomed flowers are retained on the inflorescence for well over two days with the older flowers changing their colour to deeper shades of red or yellow.
The effective pollen donation time is extended in Caesalpinia by regulating anther dehiscence time so that different pollinator species such as butterflies (Papilionidae and Nymphalidae) and moths (specifically of Sphingidae) which are active during different times of the day/night are exploited for successful pollination.

 Cascalote Tree ((i)Caesalpinia cacalaco(/i)) - Arizona Gardening Forum - GardenWeb
I had to go to Australia for work last month for 1 1/2 weeks, and when I returned, my Cascalote had these little beasts all over, although with very little leaf loss.
However, much to my dismay, my closely related, normally lush, Palo Colorado (Caesalpinia platyloba) - one of my most cherished finds - was not only infested with these bugs, but almost the entire top half of the tree was bare, and most of the leaves in the mid-heights were yellowing/brown and falling in droves!
I've had this tree for 3 years, and it has been a fantastic, beautiful addition to my backyard garden (and is a great pool-side tree, having [usually!] almost no litter)...it is about 15 feet tall, and has beautiful small, yellow flower spikes through the summer and early fall.
