the two (timbouva and contortisiliquum) are synonyms. the attached
photo is that of enterolobium contortisiliquum. this is a synonym for
Enterolobium timbouva. however the species Enterolobium cyclocarpum is
different. the main difference being in the pods. in cyclocarpum the
seed chambers are visible in the form of marked individual
constrictions on the surface of pods but not in case of
contortisiliquum. please refer the two links below
http://www.winrock.org/fnrm/factnet/factpub/FACTSH/Enterolob.html for
cyclocarpum
