Can anyone ID the Tree?
 

Anyone know the name of a largish tree (similar to a Jacaranda) with
narrow leaves (fanned in bunches) and largish red flowers (in bloom now
[Brisbane])

Any info would be appreciated

Thanks - veritas

Oh, I see you've already asked. ;-)

And I still don't know.

It's probably an Illawarra Flame Tree

Silk Trees have the same leaves as Jacarandas, and are in flower now.
Flowers are pink and quite delicate.

I'm not online ATM so haven't looked at the pics. But one notable
feature of the Illawarra Flame tree is that the branches that are in
flower are devoid of leaves. So once the tree is fully mature, when it's
in full flower there is not a leaf on the tree. Before it matures, only
a few branches flower, and only those ones lose their leaves.

The flowers are bunches of dozens of red 'plastic' bells about the size
of a small grape.
