A small tree seen in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco on 30th Sept,14.
Initially, I thought it to be Callistemon species, but it had pods hanging.
Lemon colored flowers resembling Bottle brush.
Sorry for the bad pictures due to foggy weather and pictures taken from a distance.
It may be Acacia verticillata.
Yes, it does look like your suggested id.
