I saw a magnificent specimen at the Howrah Bot Gardens in 1978 but could not

It was in full bloom in Feb, standing at the edge of a bank with its

I was wondering (just guessing really) if it could be an Anogeissus.
I do know that it is not an Adenanthera pavoninathese leaves are

It is not Dalbergia sissoo, which is the one Dalbergia I am familiar with.

Sure it is the same tree, only after a gap of about three weeks.
In that time the leaves have returned to make the identification easier.
This is one of the commoner trees in Chennai.
Thanks,

I have heard that the Jamaican Cherry, Muntingia calabura , is a *pioneer

What exactly does that mean?

Does it help in starting growth of a forest or is it merely helpful to
birds, butterflies and insects?
Please clarify. Thanks,

It is the Antrrhinum (not sure of the spelling) or Snapdragon,
a common garden flower which comes in many colour combinations.
If you press the sides of the flower, it opens its "mouth".

least my friend has not noticed any. In fact, we saw a new plant nearby and
we wondered how it had sprouted and then presumed it was a sucker.
By the way, my camera does not seem to have done justice to the rich orange
colour of the flower.
Thanks,

I am no expert, but it is not an allamanda.
The funny thing is that I got hold of the Bignonia tag only after putting
some pics up on the ITP site a year ago!

Never mind the school students!
Let Efora teams come to learn.
That would be delightful and truly appreciated.

Both the petals and leaves of this plant appear to be different from our
Indian Vinca rosea or Catharanthus roseus.
Is it the same species?

The unripe fruit is a good source of Vitamin C.
It is used to clean brass vessels.
I made some delicious wine with it in January 2009.
This year it has bourne fruit only now and not so abundantly either.

I would like to clarify that they are all pics of the same tree, taken at
the same time, last Saturday.
( Last year, the fruit was more plentiful and larger.)
