Hi, I came across this medium sized tree in gandhi nagar, Adyar, Chennai on the 15th and am not able to identify it. There were 3 trees of the same kind. I am posting the leaves only - although the leaves seem to have a crinkly appearance they were not rough to touch like the leaves of the Cordia.

[indiantreepix:25382] Pods of the Indian Cork

2009-12-22 Thread Chithra V
Hi, I saw the picture of the pod of Indian cork taken by Mr. Garg on the internet. As I have never seen a pod of this tree could someone give me an idea of its size? How long are the pods and how many seeds does each pod contain? Are they produced in clusters like the flowers? Chithra -- You rece

Another friend of mine who is good with tree identification suggested that it could be Kleihovia hospita (guest tree) - of the Malvacea family. Is that a possibility? Chithra -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "efloraofindia" group. To post to this group

Hi, Many of the Pongam trees on Indira Nagar 1st Avenue (Adyar, Chennai) are flowering now and with yesterday's cyclonic winds one tree seems to have disgorged all its seeds as well. I thought Pongam flowering season was March to June? Has anyone else observed this? Chithra

Hi, What are the obvious (for identification) differences between *Parkia biglandulosa* and *Enterelobium cyclocarpum*, that is apart from the glands at the (petiole?) of the compound leaf. Often the trees are so tall that it is difficult to get hold of the leaves.. We have both these trees on the

Hi, I was walking in the Kalakshetra campus (Chennai) when I came across this tree that seems so much like Prosopis cineraria in all aspects - leaves, flower, trunk but the pods don't seem to look like those I have seen pictures of in my google search. This tree had pods that were more flattened t

Hi, As far I as understand this, Vanni does not refer to Prosopis juliflora, but is a name for P. cineraria /spicigera. The pods on the tree in Kalakshetra were of lesser length and flatter. Chithra --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are sub
