Tropical tree identification, please!

Just collected a few seeds from a Royal Poinciana tree in the Dominican Republic. Doubt they'll germinate in the UK which is a shame as the flowers are amazing

I also collected a few seeds from another tree, which has much smaller, papery seed pods. These are all over the place (though sadly none within reach near the hotel). Any ideas what they might be? They're possibly mimosa tenuiflora but not sure

Finally, I picked up this (which is an easy one...)

I'm not sure it's a good idea to be fetching seeds around the globe unless you know exactly what you're doing; think of all the problems, unforseen, that we have now because of precisely this.

Honest thoughts, not trying to pontificate or lecture at all, just my thoughts

LFair point but the poinciana is already grown in the UK, although not very successfully as it needs a warmer climate.

The acacia seeds won't germinate and the last one has already been thrown away

The leaves look like Mimosa sensitive, I have one in the kitchen, but very small, definitely looks like some kind of mimosa.

I think it's Leucaena leucocephela, the "miracle tree". Won't grow outside in the UK but the seeds are edible to an extent. I wonder what it's like to carve?
