How to tell these plants apart, based on their leaves?

Royal Poinciana vs. Tamarind vs. Jacaranda.

Of course if the fruits are visible then it's easy.
I have a Royal Poinciana and Tamarind, both about 5' tall. I grew the Tamarind from seed, and got the Royal Poinciana as a 4" tall little plant, forgot to label them and now can't tell them apart. :ha: I included Jacaranda in the question because there are several of them in my city, and the leaves look very similar to my 2 plants.

Thanks!

Two ways...the bark is different for each plant, and each leaf smells/tastes different when crushed.
However the plants might be too small for the noticeable difference in bark texture.
Both plants make great bonsai.

Thanks a lot for the info. I'll go taste some leaves. Lol.
