This mysterious Bauhinia surely cannot be B. purpurea, because the
shape of the petals is very different. In addition, B. purpurea has
exactly three stamens, whereas the picture here shows more than 3
diverging stamens. I proposed Bauhinia galpinii just by elimination,
as I know of no other Bauhinia with red flowers, which looks anywhere
close to this. I hope there is another Bauhinia species which agrees
well with the pictures here.
