26042010GS1 tree from Nainital for ID

[Gurcharan Singh]

Having little knowledge about tropical and subtropical trees (except some growing in Delhi), I tend to mix them. This was the tree growing along Nainital lake and known as Bangar (as a local told me). The other tree identified by Satish ji as Lannea coromedelica grows common along hillsides.

Could this be what Nidhan ji suggested as Boswellia serrata, a very wild guess though. Perhaps two forms are growing side by side, one with perfectly green leaves and one having leaves with reddish tinge.

Gurcharan ji,

I think this is not Boswellia serrata. It somewhat resembles Lannea coromandelica.

Thanks Vijayasankar ji

I thought they look different, especially the hanging inflorescence along with leaves. Let us see other views. I am novice regarding trees.

Dear Vijayasankar ji / Dr. Gurucharan ji,
The plant is not Lannea coromandelica.   L.c.  is a very common avenue tree in Chennai.  I have beautiful photographs of this plant .  I will post them after searching  from my old files.
Regards,
Mahadeswara Swamy.

I am also of the opinion that it is something else.
