📚 Get to know the "fishy," a fishy tree found in rainforests, chrysanthemums, and botanical gardens all over the country. The flowering period is from January to March.

It is a unique medium to large-sized perennial with a smooth bark of silver or gray-white (it is the origin of the name white por / cowpor), straight stems, wide sprawling, single, finger-shaped leaves, split into 5-7 lobes, resembling maple leaves, with a soft coat.

The flowers are bouquets at the ends of the branches; the petals are joined together in a bell-shaped, orange or bright color; the fruit is a boat-shaped or kidney-shaped sheath; when old, it is dark red and broken off; inside, there are black seeds.
