Albizia ¿ species ?

Dear friends,
The large panicle of dishevelled flowers are ditto Albizia odoratissima. The size of leaves and of the 4 pairs of pinnae match that of A. odoratissima, however the leaves are not twice-compound. It is as if the 4 pairs of pinnae have missed splitting further into 12 – 18 pairs of leaflets!

Archaedendron monodelphum

Yes, I think the name Archidendron monadelphum fits here.

Yes, it is Albizzia sp., thank you so much

Archidendron species. Check Kerala plants for confirmation. I have seen this in Bhagamandala area Coorg. I remember it as a species of Pithecelloium. Now the name has been changed.
Thanks … for the lead.
