Hi Padmini ji, the fruits appear, to me, that of *Ceasalpinia coriaria*(Divi-Divi tree) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Caesalpinia_coriaria.jpg.
The flowering specimen belongs to probably *Leucaena leucocephala*. http://www.fao.org/ag/AGP/agpc/doc/gallery/pictures/leuleu.htm Can you provide the local names of these trees? With regards R.
