Calliandra tergemina (L.) Benth.

‘Inga capensis’ is probably a miss-print or miss-named in the catalogues as Inga species come exclusively from tropical and sub-tropical America.  The most likely candidate is Inga caripensis Humb. & Bonpl. ex Willd., a synonym of Calliandra tergemina (L.) Benth.  I have no description at present.
