Earlier feedback
Ajinkyia ji...*may be
 Acacia
catechu ?* Not sure
Pankaj joshi ji.If three
thorns,
with one is curve and stem is yellowish bark*...then please check with
Acacia senegal*. In our area locally called Gorad and Khair also.
Pankaj ji...Looks like
Acacia to
me too, but never seen catechu flowering without leaves!!
Satish Phadke ji...More likely to be
*Acacia
catechu* (looking at the thorns). But not confident without leaves.

Re: [efloraofindia:109124] Calotropis gigantea

2012-02-22 Thread Giby Kuriakose
Thank you Alfred ji, Balkar ji, Sid ji, Gurcharan ji, Neil ji and Prasad ji
for encouraging words.

Yes Neil ji I too have seen Carpenter bee foraging nectar (?) or some
floral exudate that resulted in pollination.
Visitation of small bees and butterflies (rare) would not help in
pollination in this case.
The caterpillar of Plain Tiger feeds on flower bud as well.

Giby
