I'm sorry, it's hard to tell without a closeup, so my apologies if my guess
is wrong:

the one on the left, with the pink blossoms, looks like a Cassia to me. It
could be Cassia grandis

or Cassia javanica

Sorry I can't find better shots on Google (these aren't mine). The Javanese
Pink Cassia has fewer leaflets than the Big Pink Cassia from Central
America, 5-15 vrs. 8-20. The entire plant C. grandis is bigger, too (hence
the name I suppose). Both have pink blossoms and are deciduous despite
coming from the tropics.

regards,

Atar
