Many thanks Vijaysankar ji Giby ji and others. May I ask the members from Kolkata to help in finding further characters of the big tree located in Botanical garden. It is placed some 500 meters from the main gate(Bus stop and car parking) on the main central lane on right side. I have taken the pictures in Dec last year so may be this will start flowering in late sep or oct. Dr Phadke
