@ Bong Ambutong - I am not able to find the article where I read about the similarities between the two - I will keep looking. the article talks about the introduction of the plant to tropical Asia.
@ AnjaliAnantharam - thanks for making me look more closely at this plant - I love the great Albizia saman and grew-up with it all around us in India.

Thanks a lot Leuba for the ID and Anjali as well. Maybe Leuba is right its powderpuff tree. Still looking for any correct clue. Have a good day.

The surinam powderpuff tree is sometimes mistaken for the Raintree ( Albizia saman). The leaves of the plant in your photo are much smaller than those of the raintree suggestive of a powderpuff tree ( unless it is a bonsai of the raintree).

I will post a reference for this when I find it..
