Hi everyone.
I came across this tree nearby with strange leaf formation, unfortunately I didn't have my phone with me so a small branch with a few leaves was all I got.
Can anyone identify what it is? :lost:

Thanks in advance...
Grant

I have no idea what it is, but they are compound leaves like a Wisteria ( although not that).
The main leaf comes forhte branch and each "leaf ' is all part of the one compound leaf.

I think it might be a brachychiton of some kind

I will have a quick search and see what I find

No sorry. I'm not sure now. I don't think there is a brachychiton with a compound leaf.

Thanks guys, I'll have to go past again and this time take my camera, see if a better picture (and some more time) can get an answer...
How would these compound leaves ramify(?) ?
Cheers

Hi,
It is a native called Erythrina vespertilio or bats wing coral tree. Super orange red flowers.
