This Pink Powder Puff is very different from the pink form of the common
Powder Puff. It is a small shrub with double-
compound leaves. The number of leaflets is much larger than that in common
Powder Puff. Leaflets are very closely spaced and are often 'closed up'.
This one never grows taller than 1.8m. Flowers are a beautiful powder-puff
of erect stamens which are white towards the base and pink above. Pink
Powder Puff is native to South America.
