	2.6 Erythrina Species - Pantropical Multipurpose Tree Legumes
		Erythrina berteroana is widely used as a live fence from sea level to elevations of 2,000 m in Central and South America with rainfalls ranging from 800 to 5,000 mm per year.
		Erythrina fusca is widely appreciated as a cocoa shade throughout the Americas, principally because of its adaptation to humid areas where cocoa is generally grown.
		Erythrina burana is a component of the forest in the original range of Coffea so the use of Erythrina as a coffee shade may date to the domestication of the crop (Teketay 1990).

	The forage tree Erythrina fusca as a protein supplement for cattle and as a component of an agroforestry system
		It is concluded that a mixture of 4 kg wilted Erythrina foliage plus 280 g palm oil and 9 g calcium hydroxide could replace 2 kg of the conventional concentrate supplement used in the farm.
		Erythrina fusca is a leguminous tree found in Colombia in areas of high humidity.
		A reasonable conclusion is that the PM280 (4 kg erythrina foliage with 280 g palm oil) treatment is probably inferior to the 4 kg of conventional concentrates; and that the PM420 and PM560 treatments are as good as the control and may even be slightly better.

	Erythrina variegata
		Erythrina variegata is a medium to large tree, commonly reaching 15 to 20 m in height in 20 to 25 years.
		Erythrina variegata is well adapted to the humid and semi-arid and tropics and subtropics, occurring in zones with annual rainfall of 800 to 1500 mm distributed over a five- to six- month rainy season.
		Erythrina variegata is native to the coast of India and Malaysia.

	Nutritional Wellness \| Erythrina Bark (hai tong pi)
		Erythrina bark is derived from the erythrina tree, which is native to India and southern Asia.
		Erythrina bark is often used with other herbs that have similar functions, such as tetrandra, clematis root and kadsura stem.
		The typical dosage of erythrina bark is between 6 and 12 grams, boiled in water as a decoction.

	Erythrina lysistemon
		Erythrina lysistemon is not just a decorative tree, it is also an important component of the ecosystem, providing food and shelter for a variety of birds, animals and insects.
		Erythrina lysistemon does contain a large number of alkaloids that are known to be highly toxic, but its use in traditional medicine suggests that they have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
		Erythrina caffra grows in the coastal and riverine fringe forests from Port Shepstone in KwaZulu-Natal to the Humansdorp District in Eastern Cape and in a pocket further north on the KwaZulu-Natal coast.

	Erythrina latissima
		Erythrina latissima is an attractive, small to medium-sized tree, 5 to 8 m tall.
		The name Erythrina is derived from the Greek word erythros meaning red, while latissima is Latin meaning extensive or very broad, referring to the size of the leaflets.
		Truncheons of the larger erythrinas are used as fence poles which in time take root, creating a living fence.

		The original motivation for comparing the species of Wiliwili that is native to Hawaii (Erythrina sandwicensis) to its introduced, columnar form (Erythrina variegata), was to determine reasons as to why the native Wiliwili show signs of heavy insect predation in its mature form, as compared to the introduced species.
		The leaf sections observed were of the midrib and lamina of Erythrina sandwicensis and Erythrina variegata, and were viewed and photographed at various magnifications as unstained or stained with Toluidine Blue, and viewed in both bright-field and polarized optics.

		This is a leaf from "Erythrina herbacea", native to Florida and the Southeast U.S. Note that the leaf has three leaflets, each with a thickened region of petiole at the base.
		The "Erythrina" is prized as a ornamental tree since most species have showy flowers.
		Typically, one can characterize leaf or leaflet orientation as diaheliotropic, where surfaces orient perpendicular to the rays of the sun, or paraheliotropic, where surfaces are "edge-on" to the rays of the sun.

	Tiny wasp may kill off native trees - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
		A tiny new species of wasp has invaded Hawai'i and is rapidly spreading across the Islands, threatening to kill off a popular family of trees that includes the native wiliwili, a species mentioned in the ancient creation chant the Kumulipo, and used in Hawaiian tradition to craft surfboards, canoe outriggers and fish net floats.
		Since its discovery in April, the Erythrina gall wasp has spread on O'ahu, leaving an unsightly trail of defoliation among erythrina species such as the red-flowering Indian coral tree and the tall wiliwili, a fast-growing non-native commonly used as a windbreak and as a highway noise and privacy buffer.
		And the fast-growing tropic coral, known locally as tall erythrina or tall wiliwili, is widely used on agricultural lands as a windbreak for soil and water conservation and by private homeowners to block traffic noise and prying eyes.

		Erythrina herbacea, or coral bean, is hardly widely known, but it should be.
		This spiny-leafed leguminous plant puts on a fine show of color in the spring and summer, and remains attractive throughout the growing season.
		Various species of Erythrina are planted in Mexico for ornament, as hedges, and for coffee and cocoa shade, according to Robert Vines in his book "Trees, Shrubs and Woody Vines of the Southwest." A South American species, E. crista-galli, is a tree form grown in southern U.S. landscapes.

	Database entry for Mulungu - Erythrina mulungu, cristi-galli, Mulungu - Erythrina mulungu, cristi-galli, Mulungu - ...
		The Erythrina genus comprises more than 100 species of trees and shrubs (mostly all heavily armed with spines or thorns) in the topical and subtropical regions of both hemispheres.
		Much research has been performed on Erythrina alkaloids in the last decade, as they represent a group of very active chemicals with various properties and are almost always present in Erythrina species.
		It was suggested in this study that the alkaloids in Erythrina "may alter GABAergic neurotransmission." GABA (gamma-amino butyric acid) acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain; abnormalities with its function is implicated in diseases including epilepsy, anxiety, and depression.

		Because of these factors and the timely publication in February 1982 of the Fourth Erythrina Sympossium in Allertonia (Volume 3) which listed all of the coral trees and contained an article by Elizabeth McClintock on the Erythrina in cultivation in California, San Marcos Growers embarked upon an Erythrina testing and introduction program in 1982.
		Seed lists were scoured and trips to other collections were arranged so that within a year the nursery was working on the propagation of 30 different species or cultivars.

	Erythrina humeana
		The dwarf coral tree is an ideal tree or shrub for the small garden, especially for people who love the scarlet flowers of the common coral tree (Erythrina lysistemon) but don't have the space for a large tree.
		Almost as though it was designed for the garden, the dwarf coral tree produces its flowers just at window height which allows you to do your bird watching from the comfort of your favourite sofa.
		Similar to the ploughbreaker (Erythrina zeyheri) and the tamboekie doring (Erythina acanthocarpa), the dwarf coral tree can tolerate cold and frost by going into winter dormancy and simply re-sprouting from the large swollen tuberous roots as soon as spring arrives.
