Answer 1

The Ipê-amarelo - (Tecoma chrysostricha)

It looks a lot like a tree in the picture, but the site listed it as the national flower.

Answer 2

The National Flower*: THE IPE-AMARELO
Ipê is the common name given to the many Brazilian plants and trees belonging to the mimosa, bignonia and borage families; there is no English equivalent. The Ipê-amarelo, a member of the genus Tecoma, IS the national flower of Brazil. It belongs to the tropical family of bignonias, which includes almost four hundred Brazilian species. The genus Tecoma contains many species, well known and easily distinguishable by the Brazilian people: Ipê-amarelo, Ipê-tabaco, Ipê-roxo, etc.

The Tecoma have a small or medium spread, but attain considerable heights. Some have wrinkled bark and others smooth. The leaves are digitated; dark green on the upper side and light green on the lower side. The blossoms are found in panicles or in the terminal or axillary umbrellas: they are large and very beautiful. Between September and October, the Ipê-amarelo sheds its foliage and bursts into blossom; three, four, or five flowers may replace one leaf. However, this spectacle is short-lived, lasting one week. Some of the species under the colloquial name of Ipê-amarelo are: a) Tecoma chrysostricha- found in Sao Paulo with gleaming golden blossoms; b) Tecoma lapacho- found in Paraná and Matto Grosso, also flowering in glod; and c) Tecoma ipê- whose black and purple blossoms are predominate in the Rio Grande arca. This tree also provides a valuable florestal essence of economic importance.

The Ipê-mandioca (Tecoma alba) is noted for its pallid yellow flowers, wich bloom from August to October in the state of Rio. However, more amenable climates, such as those of states of Minas Gerais, Sao Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul may cause the trees to remain in bloom until December. These do not attain more the forty feet in height, and are small in branch expansion.
