The fruits of the African Tulip have adaptations for dispersal such as being light, dry, and winged, which allows them to be easily carried by wind over long distances. The seeds within the fruits are also equipped with a tuft of fine, lightweight hairs that aid in wind dispersal. Additionally, the fruits contain multiple seeds, increasing the chances of successful dispersal and colonization in new areas.

Well, honey, the African tulip has a more aerodynamic seed pod compared to the flame of the forest, allowing it to catch a ride on the wind and travel further distances. Plus, the African tulip's seeds are lighter and have better dispersal mechanisms, giving them a leg up in the dispersal game. So, if you're looking for a plant that knows how to spread its seed far and wide, the African tulip is your go-to.
Bioactive chemicals are the internal contents that enable the African tulip tree to kill insects. Flavonoids, phenols and steroids in African tulip tree leaves can be fatal to insect larvae and pupae, especially to mosquitoes whose plasmodium causes malarial fevers. The woody plant in question's (Spathodea campanulata) leaves also contribute to insect kills by the asfixiating, insect-lethal smoke from controlled burns.
