The yellow flowers are typical of flowers found in the pea family. The flowers populate the tree at several heights and the tree has a wide draping or flowing silhouette so the tree makes a beautiful backdrop for a cactus and succulent garden. It is a welcome treat in the summer heat of August to find a tree, in addition to the crape myrtles, that perform so well and provide color.
The seeds pods are pendulous and add a nice texture combined with the lacy leaves.
The bark of ratema is green. In the photograph above you can see the various stages of maturity.
