Fabaceae-Caesalpinioideae (Caesalpiniaceae) – Bangalore – Caesalpinia coriaria – Divi Divi Tree: It grows up to 30 ft tall, often much less. Its shape is very contorted in its native exposed coastal sites. In other environments it grows into a low dome shape with a clear sub canopy space. Leaves are double-compound, with 5-10 pairs of side-stalks, each with 15-25 pairs of leaflets. The individual leaflets are 7 mm long and 2 mm broad. Divi-Divi flowers during the warm weather, but the flowers are not very showy. They are yellow in color. The fruit is a twisted pod 5 cm long.
Divi-divi is the national tree of Curaçao and is very popular in Aruba where it is also called “watapana“. On these islands this tree is never straight because of the coastal winds.

Caesalpinia coriaria (Jacq.) Willd.
yes. beautiful pictures. i thought it was an american tree a question. does indian botany keep track of what plant or tree was imported when into the country ??? ID is correct. Common in Puduchery & Tamil Nadu. According to Wikipedia it is rechristened as Libidibia coriaria. But I do not know the correctness of the name. This is one of the tanniferous plants called Divi-Divi. Beautiful rather high quality leather are produced using the fruit extract. Kannada name: Alde kaayi, divi-divi . Divi Divi in Tamil. The pictures are superb ! Thanks … Yes, an exotic plant, found planted may be for its curious looking pods, and ornamental feather leaves.
Not sure if there is any account maintained about exotics in our country.
Thanks very much … Just checked the status of name. It is an accepted name, and Libidibia coriaria (Jacq.) Schltdl. is a synonym – as per taxonomical sites.
