Need identification for flowering tree growing in Hawaii

Hello!

I am new here and hope someone can help ID this plant which is growing in Hawaii. I have seen this growing in Mexico (and I think even Florida). A friend living in Hawaii sent me this photo and wanted to know if could find the name of this tree.

I can't tell from the photo, but I think this has a seed pod that looks like a sweet pea pod.

Thanks for your help!

Any possibility of getting a larger photo showing more detail?

 

It's in the Fabaceae (ie it's a legume), but without a more detailed photo it will be tough to say which one.

 

I agree that a closeup is needed for a proper ID, but maybe Tabebuia chrysantha: http://toptropicals.com/pics/garden/2004/3/3454.jpg

 

Difficult to tell from the small picture on the email. My best guess would be an Acacia tree.

Could also be Tecoma stans, looking closer. The Tabebuias almost without exception drop their leaves when they flower, and this has kept its.

Compare bloom shape and leaf shape - Tecoma has imparipinnate oblate leaves, as this appears to, and the flower habit, colour, and structure (as far as I can make out) are quite similar.
