The Hummingbird Tree, also known as Vegetable Hummingbird or Agati, is a small, fast-growing mimosoid tree with large beautiful flowers native to Malaysia and Australia.  The root, leaf, bark, and flower all have medicinal properties.  In Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand, the white flowers, young bean pods, and leaves are cooked and eaten as vegetables. It's very attractive to pollinators and birds as well!
