bauhinia variegata การใช้
- Known foodplants of this species are " Carissa edulis " and " Bauhinia variegata ".
- It is sterile, which means it does not generally produce seeds or fruits, and is a hybrid between " Bauhinia variegata " and " Bauhinia purpurea ".
- The 2005 research suggested " Bauhinia " ?" blakeana " is genetically closer to " Bauhinia variegata ", while the 2008 research indicated it is closer to " Bauhinia purpurea " instead.
- The 2008 research was able to identify the female parent as " Bauhinia purpurea ", but it could not differentiate the male parent from " Bauhinia variegata " var . " variegata " or " Bauhinia variegata " var . " candida ".

- It is completely sterile and is shown to be the result of, probably natural, hybridization between " Bauhinia purpurea " and " Bauhinia variegata " . emblem of Hong Kong in 1965 and since 1997 has been part of the flag of the SAR . How the single ancestor tree came to the shores of Hong Kong remains shrouded in mystery.
- One tree has been found in Hong Kong that produces seeds, perhaps indicating that evolution or mutation has occurred, or that even though " Bauhinia " ?" blakeana " is perhaps sterile when self-pollinated ( the scientific study in 2005 established the low fertility of " Bauhinia " ?" blakeana "'s pollen when compared with its parental species " Bauhinia purpurea " or " Bauhinia variegata " ), however, it may perhaps be able to produce seeds when pollinated instead by its parental species " Bauhinia purpurea " or " Bauhinia variegata " or other related " Bauhinia " species.
