It's the flower of the tree called IpĂȘ-amarelo (Tecoma chrysostricha). The word "amarelo" means yellow, because we have ipĂȘs also in purple and white. So is not just the "IpĂȘ", it's the "yellow-ipĂȘ.

Amongst the great universe of native plants of the country, ipĂȘ always was considered the Brazilian national tree. On December, 7 of 1978, the law nÂș 6507 came to declare that Pau-Brasil (Caesalpinia echinata) would be national tree and the flower of IpĂȘ tree, became the nacional flower. It also established, moreover, that day 3 of May would be, from there for ahead, the Pau-Brasil Day.

Take care

I know in the states We have a flower for each state and all, but as far as I know, there is not a Brazilian flower. What we do have is a Brazilian tree called PAU BRASIL, that has a red wood and its tipical from the country. Other than that, the closest thing weŽd have to a flower would be a water lilly called "vitoria régia".

Does that help ? If not, let me know so I can make some more research on your behalf, ok. Good luck.
