It is a species of Erythrina of Leguminosae family. Erythrina variegata generally don't have leaves when flowering. They usually flower when all the leaves shed. This species seems to be a species of Erythrina that flowers in the monsoon (picture date 2nd August 2011) whereas E. varigata flowers in the summer.
Please describe me about the nature of thorns on the plant; whether they are all over the tree including trunk, branches and branch-lets or otherwise. Regards Giby On Aug 19, 3:57 pm, "Mohan V.
