... could this be Siamese Cassia, Cassia siamea, rather Senna suamea ? ... http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Siamese%20Cassia.html

Ranjini ji, it is possible this plant is different from Senna siamea ... will wait for more comments from friends.

Regards.

    Dinesh ji      I'm doubtful of this being Cassia siamea.I looked
up Pradip Kishen's trees of Delhi & it says flowers of C.simea
[Kassod]are not particularly showy but pale yellow & leaf stalk is
reddish.These Cassia flowers were a bright yellow -growing
profusely..A bit confused!

People are highly sceptic of Cassia Siamea as roadside and avenue plantation because of the highly allergic nature of its pollen.
Horror of horrors, some people in Delhi have cut down old beautiful Putranjiva trees in their compound (In Lutyen's Delhi) because of its suspected allergenic characteristic.
Can some member throw light on the allergic characteristics of these two trees?
