Erythrina sykesii Barneby & Krukoff, Lloydia 37: 447 (1974);
. Australia; New Zealand(North) as per CoL: , Flowers fairly similar to Indian Erythrinas… Yes they are, but leaves differ in shape. Looks different from images of Erythrina vespertilio at Wikipedia Factsheet Useful Tropical Plants Australian Native Plants Society Erythrina x sykesii ??
Difficult to say with the posted images.
Erythrina ×sykesii Barneby & Krukoff Yes, some possibility as per Lucid Central. Not sure. .

Marappalam, about 1780 m asl Erythrina ×sykesii Barneby & Krukoff ?? It is possible because it is in a region close to some kind of plantation.
Will wait for validation here as well as in iNaturalist.
I think it is
https://efloraofindia.com/efi/erythrina-bidwillii/ I do not think it could be Erythrina bidwillii knowing that it does not achieve height more than 6 m height. It is a large shrub or at the most a small tree of max 20 ft height.
The posted plant is quite large and tall, could be 15 m or so.
I guess so among the two hybrids: E. × sykesii Barneby & Krukoff and E. × bidwillii Lindl. the latter is a much smaller plant, reaching a height of about 20 ft (6 m).
I am hoping that the posted plant is planted as a shade tree, if not then we have to think of native Erythrina.
