I would suggest that seeds be procured of such colorforms and distributed to nurseries and individuals interested in maintaining these unusual colors. While all seeds are unlikely to generate the unusual colors, some are likely to generate like individuals, especially if such trees are isolated from red/orange flowered individuals. Here in the US, we have had good success growing yellow-flowered Delonix regia from isolated yellow-flowered trees. I suspect similar results can be achieved with Butea. Of course, grafting could be used to propagate plants with more certainty, though I'm not certain of the success rate on Butea.

It was previously called Butea frondosa) This is further divided into 2 varieties- Butea monosperma var. monosperma- the typical variety is the tree that we all see everywhere Butea monosperma var.lutea- yellow flowered Butea The white flowered Butea is NOT raised to any variety level and should be considered just an aberration or variant (not VARIETY- which is a taxonomic term ) of the typical species Butea monosperma var monosperma.
