The Yellow bauhinia, (Bauhinia tomentosa), also known as Yellow Bell Orchid Tree, is a species of legume in the Fabaceae family. It is found only in Mozambique, Zimbabwe, India and Sri Lanka. The plant is known to have antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. The genus name “Bauhinia“ honors the 16th century botanists brothers, Johann and Caspar Bauhin. They were identical twin brothers, making it a very appropriate name, because the two lobes of the leaves folded together are also identical.
