Is this one and my earlier post the same?
This was also a medium sized tree.

Erythrina crista-galli

[Yazdy Palia]

Aarti Ji, I do not think this is Erythrina crista-galli.
We see no spines on the branch. Moreover, from my experience, E
crysta-galli is bare of leaves when it blossoms. Once again according
to deffintion of E crysta-galli, it has spines, whereas the picture
does not show anyspines. It is an Erythrina but not E crystata- galli.
Attaching my pictures of E crysta-galli. This however is the opinion
of a lay person.

This appears to be E. fusca which has a terminal raceme, the standard
is distinct from wing/keel, stamens are excerted from keel. E.crista-
galli has short axillary cymes, standard adheres to wing/keel and
stamens are hardly excerted. Yazdi ji's pictures seem to be E.
suberosa. Regards, Shrikant
