Posting a small tree for ID. Location- reserved forest in Pune. 3-5 m tall. Bark light coloured. Leaves 2 pinnate, 20-30 cm long; pinnae 2-3 pairs, 15-20 cm long; leaflets opposite, sessile, elliptic, 3 cm, hairy. Pods 10-12 cm, flat, 1-2 cm wide. I hope some species of Senna Not Senna or Cassia with bipinnately compound leaves. Yes, I agree with Ken. Bipinnate leaves rules out Senna. Is it the leaves are bipinnate and the fruits shapes points towards some Albizzia species. Neither “lophantha” nor “falcataria“. I am unable to recognize this image under Albizia or closely allied genera, such as Paraserianthes and Falcataria. This is a tree planted by forest dept (about 50 individuals) on one of the hills in Pune. The id of this tree intrigued me for a long time till I saw it flowering. . References:
