This member of the Fabaceae family was described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753.. It is found in the southern part of North America and northern part of Mexico, growing in well drained soil with some water and some to lots of sun. It can grow to three meters height, and the stem can get 35 centimetres in diameter. The flowers are red.
The genera name from Greek; eryhros; 'red' for the mostly red flowers. The species name means 'herb-like, with succulent stem'. 3 year old seedling. Not sure of the ID! Guess it could be Erythrina flabelliformis.
