I think one of the well known flowering & shade tree, seen in Parks, Gardens, Roads as well as in houses. It's fruit can be upto 60 cm.long. Leaves are bi-pinnate with upto 20 pairs of side-stalks & upto 30 pairs of small leaflets. Bark is light brown & smooth in appearance.

All pictures taken at Joka, Kolkata on 14/7/07.
