Beautiful flowers and tree!

Do you know the genus/species of this
tree? Is it perhaps...a species of Inga?

We grow many Inga edulis here...however,
the flowers look a little different. However,
there's many species of Inga and they're all
native to South America.

Is the genus, Inga?

The common name for Inga edulis here is
Ice Cream Bean...because the fruit around
the seeds taste like Ice Cream.
