Yes, Mr. Neil, the twigs in first 3 pics do look like W. tinctoria but
the follicles are tubercled and thick, the leaves at least with the
follicles look tomentose and look like W. arborea. The key is on
follicle; tubercled, grooved and 12 mm wide for W. arborea and smooth
and 7 mm for W.
This looks more like Caesalpinia pulcherrima var. flava, rather than Delonix.
