Yes, I agree with Ken. Bipinnate leaves rules out Senna. Is it
Paraserianthes lophantha or P. falcataria? Regards, Shrikant

Spathodea campanulata indeed

Tanay

[Shantanu Bhattacharya]

Hi Tanay and Pankaj ji...

Thanks for the Id of this tree.

 

Some more info on this spcies. I came to know that it is commonly called African Tulip tree. and in Bengali it is called Rudra Palash. It has originated in Africa. Spathodea is a monotypi genus in the flowering plant family Bignoniaceae. The single species it contains, Spathodea campanulata, is commonly known as the Fountain Tree, African Tulip Tree, Flame-of-the-forest, Rudra Palash, Pichkari or Nandi Flame. It is a tree that grows between 7–25 m (23–82 ft) tall and is native to tropical Africa. This tree is planted extensively as an ornamental tree throughout the tropics and is much appreciated for its very showy reddish-orange or crimson (rarely yellow), campanulate flowers. It has the potential to become an invasive species, however.

The flower bud is ampule-shaped and contains water. These buds are often used by children who play with its ability to squirt the water. The sap sometimes stains yellow on fingers and clothes. The open flowers are cup-shaped and holds rain and dew, making them attractive to many species of birds. In Neotropical gardens and parks, their nectar is popular with many hummingbirds, such as the Black-throated Mango (Anthracothorax nigricollis), the Black Jacobin (Florisuga fusca), or the Gilded Hummingbird (Hylocharis chrysura). The wood of the tree is soft and is used for nesting by many hole-building birds such as barbets.

regards

Here are a couple of photos of the yellow-flowered form. It is fairly common in Florida and to a lesser extent in Southern California, USA.

[Shantanu]

Hi Mr.Kenneth
Lovely pics of the rarely seen yellow blossoms of Spathodea.

i came to know from a book by Dr.H.Santapau that there is no record
of the time when this tree was first introduced into India. It was
brought to Ceylon from Angola in Africa around 1873.
In Mumbai and many other cities along the coast, this tree flowers
regularly but never with the profusion with which it does in Pune,
Bangalore and other cities in the drier parts of the country.
The tree in Mumbai behaves like an evergreen tree, in drier parts of
the country it may lose all its leaves for a short time during the hot
weather. The wood is soft, and therefore may be damaged by strong
winds.
In Tropical Africa, where the tree actually belongs, the tree flowers
in Sept to May. In Mumbai, it flowers throughout the cold season and
early part of summer, and also often survives the monsoon months.
It is surely one of the finest avenue trees, but to get the best
result from it, the tree should be planted in well-drained soils. It
can thrive upto elevations of 1500 metres.

Regards
Shantanu : )

Neither "lophantha" nor "falcataria".  I am unable to recognize this image under Albizia or closely allied genera, such as Paraserianthes and Falcataria.

This is a tree planted by forest dept (about 50 individuals) on one of the hills in Pune. The id of this tree intrigued me for a long time till I saw it flowering.
Dr Vijayshankar then identified it as Caesalpinia spinosa. The info available on net is very intetesting.
I have been producing saplings of this unique tree to gift to tree lovers. Saplings planted by me have grown tall enough to start flowering.
