    		Laburnum is an attractive tree but potentially dangerous, since the leaves, seeds and even the roots contain a poisonous alkaloid. Being a member of the pea family, its green seed pods are a temptation to children, and there have been many cases of laburnum poisoning.
    Other common names for this ornamental are Golden Chain Tree and Golden Rain Tree.
    so we are both right.
