   Leaves Type- once pinnate, small (3-4cm)

Sparsely growing in Thorn forest, trees seemed to have suffered from lopping for fodder by locals. Would love to confirm its identity.

Thanks,

Yes, your ID is correct but leaves have to be 2 twice pinnate with
5-15 pinnae and sessile leaflets in 12-30 pairs. Regards, Shrikant
