| | Bauhinia aculeata: White Orchid-Tree (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | One of the hardiest of the bauhinias, White Orchid-Tree is a deciduous to semi-evergreen tree reaching 25 to 30 feet in height with interesting twisted ascending branches which droop at the ends, an often-leaning trunk, and large, bilobed, dark green leaves. |
 | | White Orchid-Tree makes a spectacular vase-shaped specimen, shade, or patio tree, or fits well into a mixed shrubbery border provided it is grown in the full sun. |
 | | The trees propagated from seed vary in form when young from one individual to the next so uniform plantings are difficult to achieve. |
