Thanks, … Though overall it seems to match with other images at Erythrina crista-galli L., I am worried about the colour of petals in the close up in the last image.


Also check up for Erythrina fusca, Erythrina glauca


Thanks, … Yes, it appears closer to images of Erythrina fusca at

This should be Erythrina fusca Lour. as per Botanical Survey of India, there are 2 species in Andaman and Nicobar Islands (E. fusca and  E. fusca).
