This appears to be *Cordia dichotoma*. The leaves shown in the closeup is ovate whereas in Cordia dichotoma it is more roundish. Still I think this is *Cordia dichotoma* which matches most of the characteristics.

So far I was not knowing that this tree is different from *Acacia nilotica.* Last Sunday Shrikant ji showed me this tree. Flowers same as *A. nilotica* but much fragrant. Stipules spinescent and small 0.5 cm unlike long white thorns of *Acacia nilotica.* Pods is the identifying character. They are dark brown cylindrical as shown in the picture. This is a native tree and around 4-5 shrubby trees were observed in an open area in the Pune city, probably natural or may have been planted in the past.

Great Prashant, Now you can find flowers on demand! ;-) So, this flower agrees with the description of Cardamine subumbellata in having 6 stamens. The description of the fruit also agrees well.

Dianthus barbatus is commonly known as Sweet William. A prominent feature of Sweet William is that the flowers are borne in a compact ball-like head, carried on a stem. http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Sweet%20William.html Flowers of China Pinks (Dianthus chinensis) do not arise in such a compact bunch. Also, leaves of Dianthus barbatus are much broader, appearing to be elliptic/oval, whereas leaves of Dianthus chinensis are narrow, appearing to be lanceshaped.

Thanks Tabish ji for the info.

A prominent feature of Sweet William is that the flowers are borne in a compact ball-like head, carried on a stem. http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Sweet%20William.html Flowers of China Pinks (Dianthus chinensis) do not arise in such a compact bunch. Also, leaves of Dianthus barbatus are much broader, appearing to be elliptic/oval, whereas leaves of Dianthus chinensis are narrow, appearing to be lanceshaped.

Well, i don't know the fine differences between the Dianthus varieties. But experts have spoken. Wiki says: The name Dianthus is from the Greek words dios (god) and anthos (flower), and was cited by the Greek botanist Theophrastus. moreover specially for your son: Dianthus species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Cabbage Moth, Double-striped Pug, Large Yellow Underwing and The Lychnis.
