Generalidades

Sinónimos: No aplican.

Nombre común: Cameri (purépecha), flor de San Pedro, hierba de San Pedro, retama, San Pedrito, San Pedro, tronadora.

Características generales:

  • Es un arbusto o árbol pequeño, perenne, hermafrodita, de madera dura y hojas compuestas y opuestas, de borde serrado.

  • El fruto es una vaina alargada (7-21 cm) de color verde-marrón.

  • La principal característica es la flor, una corola tubular-campanuda (3-5 cm) y color amarillo vivo.

  • Las ramas, y también el tronco, se desgarran longitudinalmente con mucha facilidad, provocando su caída. Esto lo hace un árbol poco seguro, especialmente para espacios donde juegan niños, o en lugares de estacionamiento para vehículos. Es común ver ramas secas colgando del árbol, y también ramas que se han desgarrado y siguen viviendo. En este último caso, la rama forma una ese poco marcada.
