白花洋紫荆 bai hua yang zi jing
Bauhinia candida Aiton, Hort. Kew. 2: 49. 1789; B. variegata var. alboflava de Wit.
Petals white. Staminodes ?absent. 2n = 28*.
● Tropical forests, also cultivated. Native in S Yunnan (Xishuangbanna); widely cultivated in S China.
Two of us (Larsens) note that the absence of staminodes needs to be checked on Chinese materials as this is not the case for the species in SE Asia.
The varietal name B. variegata var. candida Voigt was not based on B. candida Aiton.
