candelabra tree

The other trees which the Central African forests produce are the kolquall, or candelabra tree; the msundurusi, or copal-tree, frequent in Ukawendi; the moumbo, or palmyra; the miombo; the beautiful and fragrant mimosa; the mtundu; and on the shores of Lake Tanganika is seen the beautiful Guinea palm tree, called mchikichi, and the plantain tree.

The Candelabra-tree is chiefly interesting for its appearance, which perfectly resembles an immense candelabra ready for illumination.

In the forests of South America grow the imbauba or so-called candelabra trees, species of the genus Cecropia, which well deserve their name, 'candelabra,' from the curious appearance given them by the outspringing bare branches, each bearing a tuft of leaves at the free end.

Her interest in botanicals was as strong as ever, but she added bromeliadssuch as Tillandsia and tropical (or neotropical) plants such as Bauhinia, Heliconia, Alpinia, the candelabra tree (Senna didymobotrya) and poinciana shrub, as well as orchids and passion flowers to the native species painted for Audubon.

The candelabra tree stands alone on the near bank of the Upper Ammonoosuc, which flows strongly through Groveton Village, rushing its way into maturity in the Connecticut River.

The Islamic variation of the candelabra tree, as seen on the stucco object, is further abstracted in the decoration of the later Susa bowl.
