The tree.
Flowering branches.
Detail: Flowers and leaves.
The usual story: Collected on camera, id'd on the internet, thanks to Flickr. The leaves, trunk and habit are not unlike a Jacaranda, but I'd been puzzling over some seedpods on the Women's College drive: a long cylindrical pod, with two seams running the length of it, splitting open to show a set of seeds each within a disc of width about 3-4 mm of material, the length of the pod being up to 40 cm or more. Puzzle no longer. They belong to this tree: Cassia javanica.
