Dear Mr. Mukherjee,

According to the leaf pattern looks like Sapindus mukorossi but
images are blurred and not so clear.

Thank you.

It is not soapnut, it may be some Meliaceae tree

Garg ji,

Leaves look similar. Could be Castanospermum australe. Not sure.

have you see my site of late? I believe I shared with you last year but that time it just started. Do let me know if you have any feedback for improvement. Also kindly you may share with people who might be interested in this.

Last time you told me to follow/adapt the eflora india schema. Could you give a hint/url what that means?
