Hi, I would believe this is the Caesalpinia cucullata, or at least a close relative.

Hi, I would believe this is the Caesalpinia cucullata, or at least a close relative.

It looks like a species of Caesalpinia (Leg. Caesalpinioideae).

In the first and last picture also leaves and inflorescence of Chromolaena odorata (L.) King. & H. Rob. (Asteraceae).

Indeed, it is Caesalpinia cucullata Roxb. (= Mezoneuron cucullatum (Roxb.) Wight & Arn.)

Species Name: Caesalpinia cucullata Roxb.

Synonym: Mezonevron cucullatum

It is Confirm Id ....I agree with Lofthus & Greuter.

Caesalpinia cucullata Roxb is correct identification.

It maybe from Gesneriacea. I am sorry for not finding the exact species name. You can find the species name in you local flora.

I will be honored if the answer will help you.

Dear Hobin Wang,

Are you talking about Aeschynanthus flavidus?

Caesalpinia cucullata is a good choice

Caesalpinia cucullata Roxb.

This is Caesalpinia cucullata.

Confirming Caesalpinia cucullata

And what about Ceratonia siliqua ?

Allons donc, Mathias: en tant que botaniste méditerranéen vous devriez connaitre le caroubier!

Definitely Caesalpinia cucullata Roxb. Family Caesalpiniaceae
