Blue Braya & Yellow Braya.

Gurcharanji:
HELP!
Based on AArti's note above, I searched...but...I have not found upon exhaustive search terms: BRAYA, bonsai

BBC bonsai exhibition and braya, blue braya yellow etc etc Neither

Blue and yellow forsythia, Blue and yellow pea tree...(FORSYTHIA because of the weeping habit)

I went back to searching my specimen: pea like flowers on a shrub or a tree

found Caragana ... wiki has a page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caragana#mediaviewer/File:Caragana_distribution.svg

and my choices boil down to Caragana aurantiaca or Caragana pygmaea

I have not seen any seed pods on the specimen I have seen or photographed in September this year... PLant has that drooping habit that SIVA has shown above.

Thanks for your help

Dear All

Many thanks for all your efforts in trying to identify this plant which was introduced to Sri Lanka. Based on the description of leaves and flowers it may probably be Caragana aurantiaca.

Kind regard

Gurcharan Ji,

Sorry,by mistake, I gave the name of the Purple one which I had seen.

Please check with Brya ebenus for this.

Looks different from Caragana aurantiaca as per

https://www.chilternseeds.co.uk/item_272r_caragana_aurantiaca_seeds
https://nova.co.at/marsNova/en/instance/picture/CARAGANA-AURANTIACA.xhtml?oid=76028

http://navigate.botanicgardens.org/weboi/oecgi2.exe/INET_ECM_DispPl?NAMENUM=21813&startpage=1

I think it may be Brya ebenus as per images and details herein and as per the following:
