Navendu ji Last month you had raised question about differences between Caesalpinia pulcherrima var. flava and Delonix regia var. flavida. Today I had a casual check and found these: Sepals in Delonix are narrower and valvate in bud, in Caesalpinia they are broader and imbricate Stamens slightly longer than petals in Delonix, they are 2-3 times longer in Caesalpinia Fruits 30-50 cm long in Delonix, less than 10 cm in Caesalpinia
