the two (timbouva and contortisiliquum) are synonyms. the attached photo is that of enterolobium contortisiliquum. this is a synonym for Enterolobium timbouva. however the species Enterolobium cyclocarpum is different. the main difference being in the pods. in cyclocarpum the seed chambers are visible in the form of marked individual constrictions on the surface of pods but not in case of contortisiliquum. please refer the two links below http://www.winrock.org/fnrm/factnet/factpub/FACTSH/Enterolob.html for cyclocarpum and http://www.google.co.in/imgres?q=Enterolobium&um=1&hl=en&safe=active&sa=N&biw=1228&bih=732&tbm=isch&tbnid=0BT2vowk48xIQM:&imgrefurl=http://luirig.altervista.org/floranam/enterolobium.htm&docid=nQhAJKM4jvHx5M&imgurl=http://luirig.altervista.org/cpm/albums/bot-taubert/Enterolobium-timbouva-126.jpg&w=750&h=579&ei=rFHCTpeWK87hrAeuvejwCw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=230&vpy=142&dur=3274&hovh=196&hovw=255&tx=126&ty=102&sig=109476885505819018119&page=1&tbnh=126&tbnw=164&start=0&ndsp=28&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0 for contortisiliquum
