Many thanks Saroj ji. It took me some time to get convinced that it is not *E. stricta*, mainly because this one is a lone tree in the wilderness along the Mysore Ooty road. Since it was far away it was not easy to get a clear picture of flowers.
I managed to crop one picture to see the leaflets a little closer. I am putting it here if at all you want to check. I do see a pair of glands at the base of bottom leaflets. I am revising the ID to *Erythrina subumbrans* (Hassk.) Merr. [image: Erythrina sp.] <https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/341217126> Regards.
