Species ID Suggestions

Comments (4)

The common name space of a spotting is for the common name of the species if it is known. Likewise, the scientific name is reserved for scientific names. Questions, requests and messages cannot be placed in name fields (spaces). The best way to ask for help in identifying your spotting is to leave the scientific name blank and tick the box that says "Help me ID this species". That way it will show up as requesting ID assistance. Thank you.
If i may be so bold, I think might be a silk tree (Albizia sp.). "Molucca albizia (Adenanthera falcataria, Albizia falcataria, Paraserianthes falcataria, Falcataria moluccana) is considered an invasive species in Hawaii and on many other Pacific Islands.[7] The tree grows very rapidly and can quickly colonize disturbed areas in wet environments. It tends to shed large branches, damaging power lines, houses, and other infrastructure in Hawaii." source:wikipedia
Also we need to know where the photo was taken. Different trees grow in different places. How tall is it? Size of leaves?
The best way to have someone ID this for you is for you to include photos of the whole tree, close up of bark, close up of leaves, and close up of any fruit/flowers if present. Just one photo usually doesn't tell people very much
