hi guys im not sure where to post this so ill just post it here sorry if its the wrong place

iv got a plant that i have hard time to find out what it looked at the wiki and gave up

i was thinking it might be Acacia nilotica but its seams like it its not currently no flowers as the tree is 2 around 3 years old
i am hoping some one could identify it for me, please, it would be a great help ,after all i am not a botanist

location of tree the east coast of Saudi Arabia

links to images
tree

leaf

i could get more pictures upon request
 
Looks like a caesalpinia mexicana to me.

It's definitely not an Acacia nilotica. nilotica have small leaves, more similar to a Mimosa hostilis.

Difficult to say though. What part of the world?

Are there any seed pods around? If yes, a picture of those would help immensely.

okay

the tree is in Saudi Arabia , east coast, the plant shops don't know the scientific name of, them as they just sell them at the side of the road so they don't know much about the plants
there are more mature plants around that look the same ill have look at them and get back
 
no seed pods on any of the more mature trees around here are two more photos of bark and under the leaf

I'm not sure of the species but I have seen them growing near my sons school.
They are not an acacia they get purple flowers and the seed pods are oval.

i hope im not asking too much, but it would be a great help if you could get photos of the pods and flowers i cant find any iv looked at 7 trees and no pods anywhere to be seen :(

iv been starting to doubt it contains any alkaloids
