Delonix tomentosa is a rare tree in the pea and bean family, known only from a single historic specimen from western Madagascar and possibly extinct in the wild, so it is not realistically available to home gardeners.
Delonix tomentosa is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae. It is endemic to Madagascar, where it is known only from the type specimen collected over 100 years ago. It has not been seen since and may be extinct.
