Chilean Lantern Tree
A hardy small tree [Crinodendron hookerianum] with attractive flowers; originally from Chile, it was introduced to the UK in 1848 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crinodendron_hookerianum. Its specific name honours W J Hooker, an eminent British botanist and explorer [1817-1911] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Dalton_Hooker; with George Bentham, their Handbook of the British Flora was a must-have for A-level Botany students in the mid-1950s.
