Main Street Oct 31, 1919 Beira, Mozambique

Street & Acacia flamb[oyans]. [Shantz travel journal, Oct. 31, 1919]

The flamboyant acacia - Poinciana (Delonix) regia, a tree from Madagascar. [Shantz travel journal, Oct. 31, 1919, corrections of notes]

[Beira is] a very wonderful place in some ways. The tree (called Acacia flamboyans) is a blaze of red at this time and the old pods still attached. This is the chief street tree of the region. [Shantz travel journal, Oct. 30, 1919]
