I've been trying to find out what kind of tree I saw in a botanical garden. It's distinctive...has large leafs, and produced flowers.

It was marked to be a silk tree, but is not at all like any silk tree I've been able to look up.

Most interesting of all was it's enormous thorns on the boab-like trunk. It looke like a huge weapon wearing a tropical hat.

Any idears?
