Erythrina coralloides with a hummingbird
Erythrina coralloides flame coral tree , naked coral tree ) is a species of flowering tree in the pea family, Fabaceae , that is native to eastern Mexico . It ranges from Tamaulipas south to Oaxaca ,[1] Arizona in the United States .[2]
Description [ edit ]
Erythrina coralloides is a tree reaching a height of 12 m. Its seeds are elliptic, smooth, glossy, coral-red, with a salient longitudinal line on the back, and with a white hilum surrounded by a black border.
Its white wood is used for making bungs and, especially in San Luis Potosí , figurines. The clusters of red and white flowers on the Naked Coral Tree make it an attractive ornamental . The flowers are also used as a food source.
Phytochemistry [ edit ]
The seeds are very poisonous, containing erythroidine , a powerful muscle relaxant ; erythroresin , an emetic ; coralin ; and erythric acid . The extract has been suggested as a substitute for curare . An analysis by Rio de la Loza showed the seeds contain 13.35 solid and liquid fat , 0.32 resin soluble in ether , 13.47 resin soluble in alcohol , 1.61 erythrococalloidine , an alkaloid , 5.60 albumen , 0.83 gum , 1.55 sugar , 0.42 organic acid , 15.87 starch , 7.15 moisture and 39.15 inorganic matter .
