A fact from Erythrina velutina appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 27 March 2010 _{(check views)}. The text of the entry was as follows: "Did you know

... that the tree Erythrina velutina (inflorescence pictured) can make mice and rats sleepy and is the only Erythrina species pollinated by a lizard, the Noronha skink?"

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2010/March.

Spread

Why is this listed as being introduced or native to a lot of places, none of them Australia, while the picture is from Brisbane? 67.169.94.126 (talk) 19:30, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

It's a bit problematic—the picture is from Brisbane, and is apparently really E. velutina, but I haven't been able to find a source that lists the tree as occurring in Australia. Ucucha 19:35, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
