Field Notes

Description:

It is a shrub growing to 3 m tall. The leaves are bipinnate, 20–40 cm long, bearing 3-10 pairs of pinnae, each with 6-10 pairs of leaflets 15–25 mm long and 10–15 mm broad. The flowers are borne in racemes up to 20 cm long, each flower with five yellow, orange or red petals. The fruit is a pod 6–12 cm long.

Notes:

I saw this flower today and not sure the name of it. The leaves are like the leaves of a tamarind tree. Also, there is something sticking on the pea pod of this plant. Please see next picture.
