Tree from California: Aesculus or Sterculia?

[Gurcharan Singh]

I had photographed this tree in California in September, 2010, thinking it to be Aesculus caiifornicus, but after seeing the fruits of Sterculia uploaded by Raghu ji today, I am doubtful. Please give your opinion. Is it some species of Sterculia with palmately compound leaves and 1 follicle maturing or Aesculus californicus, as thought by me earlier?
