Radermachera hainanensis
Hainan Radermachera
Radermachera hainanensis is a medium evergreen tree of southern China and northern Indochina, grown for glossy pinnate foliage and for a summer flowering of large, pale, trumpet-shaped flowers that carry scent in the evening.
It holds a dense, even crown and has long been used as a street and courtyard tree on Hainan and through Guangdong, where it copes with the heat and humidity that defeat many introduced species.
