Cassia fistula - Golden Showers

It is possible that people take on characteristics projected by the sound of their names or the way the names look when written. Or is it the other way around that people are named because they just look like certain names fit them perfectly. Whatever it is, this tree was named because of the way it looks when it flowers. I can think of no better name than this to describe the speckles of yellow dripping from every branch when the tree is in bloom.
