Scubagirl or anyone? Name of Tree

[MokieWoman]

We visited Nassau the first week of June. Our tour guide took us to an area where the locals were selling souveniers (not the Straw Market). It was right by the Queens Staircase and the fort. Anyway, there was a huge flowering tree full of orange blossoms. He told me the name of the tree, but it was a long name and I can't remember it. I saw several more of these, but that one is the one that I remember where it was. Could anyone help me with the name of this tree? It was not a bougainvilla (sp?). I've put a picture of it in my vacatino scrapbook and I don't know how to label it! If it would help, I could email someone a picture. Thanks!
