A broad tree with a conspicuously fan-shaped crown. Unlike the rest of the species, the large, bipinnate leaf is a deep purple colour. The leaf retains this intense colour throughout the summer. The delicate, bipinnate leaves and striking blossoms combine to make an outstanding overall appearance. The leaflets fold and close in the evening. The tree blossoms in July and August with dense heads of small flowers that cluster on long stalks. The soft pink stamens project about 3 cm above the flowers. Requires shelter in severe winters.
