The tree is commonly known as the “yellow flame tree” because of its eye-catching clusters of brilliant yellow blooms, which bloom at their peak in the spring and summer. The tree produces flat, woody pods that are filled with seeds; the pods are green at first and turn brown as they ripen, and when the pods break open, the seeds are often scattered by the wind.

Peltophorum pterocarpum is not a prominent timber tree, but it is utilized in traditional medicine and local crafts, and its wood is occasionally employed for small-scale woodworking projects. The wood has a wide variety of uses, including cabinet-making and the foliage is used as a fodder crop.
