Observations

About this identification

The tall, airy crown beside the walkway is filled with fine, twice-divided feathery foliage matching the yellow-flame avenue; the broad, slightly layered branching agrees with a maturing specimen.

Identified from photographs of bark, leaves, fallen litter and epiphytes against the Malaysian campus-tree flora. Moderate and tentative records would be settled by a close-up of flowers or fruit.
