Dear Friends

 

Saw this tree on the Jungali Maharaj Road in Pune. The leaves are palmate and flower is white with a dash of yellow in the center.

I apologise for the quality of the flower picture, for the lack oof better equipment this is all I could manage with my 3X zoom.

 

Tree Location: Jungali Maharaj Road, Pune

Date: 9th May 2009

Could be Tabebuia rosea.

Dear Abhay
I have been observing this tree for a long time. I am very much interested in exact ID of this tree near BalGandharva Rang Mandir. Pune.
The palmately compound leaves and Typical Bignoniaceae family flower does suggest it to be Tabebuia rosea. But the leaves are considerably long ....similar to Mango leaf as aginst the ones seen in most of the net images where the leaves are much broader,shorter, darker and glossier.
The many roadside Tabebuias seen in Chennai have latter type of leaves as against this type seen in your picture. Is navendu's ID synonym or else?
Would help comments from others.

Dear Satish ji,

I too felt that it wasn't Tabebuia rosea exactly. But looks quite like
from the family of Tabebuia.

How does it show in other seasons? Does it flower like its other
supposed siblings i.e. pink trumpets and yellow trumpets, who shed all
leaves and don flowers alone? And what aobut its fruit? Have you taken
any pictures of it? post them if you've itt would be interesting to
see them.

I could not find any likeness between the pictures of Bignonia
megapotamica and this tee.

warmly

I think close to images at Tabebuia rosea (Bertol.) Bertero ex A.DC.
