The genus Calliandra contains 132 species. Most are endemic to the Americas, but a few species are endemic to the South Asian subcontinent or Africa, including Madagascar. Most species are shrubs or small trees, although a few are large trees or herbs.

Calliandra houstoniana is a fast growing small tree or large sgrub with fine feathery foliage and bright red fine structured powderpuff fowers. This species is very close to calliandra calothyrsis, but the flowers open fully, unlike c. calothyrsis, where the flower opens graduallly from the bottom to the top.
