An evergreen tree that can grow to 25 m tall with a diameter of about 30-50 cm. The trunk is upright with many branches. The crown is umbrella-shaped and the bark is smooth with grey spots. The leaves are palmately compound, consisting of five leaflets, the central one being the largest. The leaves fall off in autumn and winter with some still attached to stems during flowering seasons. The flowers are mostly purplish-red and pink without scents. When in bloom, the flowers have a diameter about 3-5 cm and are 7-8 cm long, growing in head-like clusters which mostly bloom around the same time. During flowering seasons, the plant is covered in flowers that dangle in the air like wind chimes. Flowering occurs mainly in January and February. (Photo courtesy of Lu Wei-yuan)
