Garg ji, Suresh ji, Now when I read my earlier message in this thread, I think I have messed up. The ID of Sangeeta ji's plant is *Acacia nilotica* ssp. *cupressiformis* as Chitra ji has commented.
To clarify my thoughts and expression: ... I wanted to assert that there is one sub species of A. nilotica which has almost no thorns, and that is ssp. tomentosa. I am sure there is lot of research and substance in Pradeep ji's Trees of Delhi. I am going by findings on internet ... For instance, these links: 1) http://www.fao.org/Ag/AGA/AGAP/FRG/AHPP102/102-277.pdf 2) http://iscmumbai.maharashtra.gov.in/floristic%20survey.html ... requires several minutes to download ... read # 306 It is better I stand corrected; at present I am not strong about my views of *A. nilotica* ssp. *tomentosa.* Few views of what I consider to be *A. nilotica* ssp. *tomentosa*: http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=91314...@n00&q=Acacia+nilotica+ssp+tomentosa&m=text Regards.
