Pink Powder Puff
Botanical name: Calliandra brevipes
Family: Mimosaceae (Touch-me-not family)
Synonyms: Anneslia brevipes, Calliandra selloi
This Pink Powder Puff is very different from the pink
form of the common Powder Puff. It is a small shrub with double- compound
leaves. The number of leaflets is much larger than that in common Powder Puff.
Leaflets are very closely spaced and are often 'closed up'. This one never
grows taller than 1.8m. Flowers are a beautiful powder-puff of erect stamens
which are white towards the base and pink above. Pink Powder Puff is native to
South America.
