Help with plant id

[JoeP450]

Hey guys,

Silly question but a while back I planted out some tamarind seeds, and Royal poinciana seeds and lost track of the pots in this section of my yard for a bit. So wondering if this is a tamarind, weed, or Royal poincianna?

Thanks,

-Joe

possible yes probably tamarind if you planted that.
possible phyllanthus emblica=indian gooseberry
possible phyllanthus spp.
possible something in the bean family

Thats a tough one- it also could be delonix regia

Definitely not tamarind.

I am going to say that the pictured plant is a Poinciana. I believe Tamarind leaflets alternate back and forth along the stem. The pictured leaflets are in pairs.

Here is a link showing how the tamarind leaflets alternate.

Here is another link showing how the Royal Poinciana leaflets are in pairs.

Another fact that might help before the plants flower is that Tamarind develops rough bark at a very young age (trunk caliper less than 1" in my experience), where as Royal Poinciana will have fairly smooth bark for many years.
