The naturalized Anacardium occidentale can be seen scattered all over Mumbai. In Madh, it is one of the more populous trees and would have been a significant plantation crop at some point of time. Even in its current state of neglect and the ongoing depletion of the tree cover here, this grove is one of the most luxuriant of any tree in Mumbai.

Have attached some pictures of the buds and the flowers. The fresh flowers are white with a faint hint of lime green.

Photographed in Madh, February 2015.

Best wishes, Viplav
