Yes this is Pterolobium hexapetalum, aptly known as 'travellers' terror'. It is good looking when its in flowering. Flowers are very fragrant. But we had had our toughest times with this plant in the field. While damaging your clothes and skin, it will apply frequent brakes during treks, with its spines that point all directions. Regards
