Calliandra emarginata, native to tropical and subtropical regions of southern Asia, Africa, Australia and the Americas, is one of about 200 species of flowering plant in the Calliandra genus. The common name for Calliandra species is "Powder-puff plant" or "Fairy Duster" due to the globular arrangement of the long slender stamens in the flowers.Photo credit: UpstateNYer
