Erythrina suberosa

Erythrina suberosa, the corky coral tree, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae.[2] It is native to the Indian Subcontinent (except Assam), Southeast Asia (except Laos), and Peninsular Malaysia.[1] Due to its showy flowers and habit of flowering most of the year, it is often planted as an ornamental or street tree.[3] Although the flowers can be used to make a refreshing drink, the seeds are poisonous.[3]
