Here is an easy one...

Thank you and keep'em coming.

 

Well you asked for it!

Can't tell from here..But maybe an pagoda tree? Sophora (know it's not called that now, just prefer the old name). erm... or perhaps some sort of acacia. A closer look at foliage and flower would be helpful.

C. macrophylla and C. Bracypoda seem to be synonymous according to some authorities. Good, shot, by the way.

You're right. Didn't know it was Styphnolobium now...I still call it Sophora

Here's another pic from a different angle

Juglans family ?

Well there you have it.. Guessed in an earlier post. I wasn't aware of the synonym - It's a wonderful tree and amazes me why it's not grown more outside of specialist collections.

Juglans family ?

 

Nope, it's not in that family. BUT Juglans is in the Fagales order, as is this tree.

[Langur]

Yes it is.

Same order as Quercus, Betula, Fagus, Alnus, Castanea and some others.
