Features About this Global Cover Collection The royal poinciana, also known as the flame tree, is native to Madagascar but is now found in many tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. The plant has a strong connection to Christianity. Legend has it that the crown of thorns, placed on Jesus' head before his crucifixion, was made from the branches of a poinciana tree. As a result, the tree is considered a symbol of Christ's suffering and is associated with the Easter season. The vibrant red-orange colour of its flowers is also said to represent the flames of the Holy Spirit.
