Thanks, Mahadeswara ji. Basic question is whether this species is cultivated in India or not. >From the data from ILDIS & other net sources, I feel a few observations here & there might have been wrongly reported. It is not reported in India (except for a reference of 1914) as per ILDIS <http://www.legumes-online.net/ildis/aweb/td001/td_00135.htm> in contrast to references of *Calliandra haematocephala* <http://www.legumes-online.net/ildis/aweb/td001/td_00130.htm>

Garg" <[email protected]>, Bimal Sar kar <[email protected]> Garg ji, Same doubt for me as well. It is very difficult to pinpoint the sps Id from photographs. Nevertheless, please check the following links for comparison. Calliandra haematocephala x surinamensis Nana - http://toptropicals.com/catalog/uid/CALLIANDRA_nana.htm . Calliandra surinamensis - http://toptropicals.com/ catalog/uid/CALLIANDRA_SURINAMENSIS.htm . You can view photographs of many other species of *Calliandra too in this website . Please compare and decide.* On Wed, Dec 7, 2016 at 3:57 PM, J.M.
