A South American tree with bright red flowers, also called the flame tree or sometimes referring to the ceiba tree.
From Spanish 'ceibo,' derived from Quechua or Guaraní indigenous languages of South America, referring to distinctive trees native to that region.
The ceibo is the national flower of Argentina and Uruguay, and its brilliant scarlet blooms were so striking to Spanish conquistadors that they immediately adopted the indigenous name into European Spanish!
