What kind of tree is it?

This very special species of Calliandra originates from the mountains of South America and grows from Venezuela to Peru.The "carbonero", as it is locally called, immediately catches the eye: its head-shaped inflorescence, covered with lots of red stamens, makes it impossible to miss. Calliandra are deciduous shrubs or small trees that produce crescent-shaped legumes. Despite this "productivity", Calliandra are also planted as support trees to provide shade or improve the soil.
