Since 1997 the flower appears on Hong Kong's coat of arms, [[Flag of Hong Kong|its flag]] and [[Hong Kong dollar|its coins]]; its Chinese name has also been frequently shortened as 紫荊/紫荆 (洋 ''yáng'' means 'foreign' in Chinese, and this would be deemed inappropriate by the PRC government{{cn|date=July 2020}}), although 紫荊/紫荆 refers to another genus called ''[[Cercis]]''. A [[statue]] of the plant has been erected in [[Golden Bauhinia Square]] in Hong Kong.
Although the flowers are bright pinkish purple in colour, they are depicted in white on the Flag of Hong Kong.
[[Hong Kong Airlines]] uses BAUHINIA as its [[Aviation call signs|callsign]].

The [[endemic (ecology)|endemic]] plant of [[Hong Kong]] was introduced to [[Taiwan]] in 1967. In 1984 it was chosen to be the city flower of [[Chiayi|Chiayi City]], in southwestern [[Taiwan]].
