One of the Paraserianthes species I think, they are exotics but not overly invasive

I was interested in what you would say for this one. I thought honey locust but no thorns. According to Wikipedia Paraserianthes has one species and is native to Western Australia. Is that right? If so, would it be strange to just show up in someone’s garden? Of course, it’s amazing where some plants do show up.

You know, it looks a bit like that acacia elata I found recently

Plume Albizia is a popular garden plant and is well established up Australia's east coast as far as Brisbane at least, so it could well turn up in gardens from time to time.
