Muthu Sir,
Thanks for your reply.
The leaves of Acacia leucopholea are bigger than mine.
Anyhow looks related.I will check with  the genus.

[J.M. Garg]

Similar were doubts were nagging me. 

[Tapas Chakrabarty]

Good suggestion by Santhan ji.  However, it is difficult to decide from these faint images devoid of flowers or fruits whether this should be Vachellia leucophloea or V. planifrons.

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks, Tapas ji. 

[bharathi raja]

Tapas Sir,
Sorry for the faint images.
It's looking good for me in my mobile.
Any how I will try switch to a SLR camera.

Mostly I submit flowers or fruits with leaves.Sorry this time only leaves.
But experts like you just find from the leaves itself.

[Tapas Chakrabarty]

Bharathi ji,

Vachellia leocophloea bears 10-25 pairs leaflets per pinna and the leaflets are linear-oblong sessile, 2-5 mm in length and the inflorescences (Heads) are arranged in elongated terminal panicles whereas V. planifrons will have 5-20 pairs of leaflets per pinna  and the leaflets are also linear-oblong, sessile, 1-3 mm long but here the inflorescences (Heads) are axillary and 2-3-together.  Both the species occurring in Tamil Nadu and in absence of flowers and fruits you can think of the latter, i. e. V. planifrons considering the size of the leaflets.

Nothing more to say with the present images.

Regards,

[Tapas Chakrabarty]

Bharathi ji, 

In Acacia we need to have details of pubesceence,  if any, and nature of the foliar glands and venation of leaflets to identify a sterile material which are not discernible here and therefore I remarked the images as "faint" without any intention of hurting your feelings. 

Regards. 

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks a lot, Tapas ji,  for detailed inputs. 

[bharathi raja]

I think the species is:

 Dichrostachys cinerea

This is not Dichrostachys cineraria .  A species of Acacia. Pl send close up of the  plant clearly showing the leaflets arrangements and spine for proper ID.

[J.M. Garg]

I agree with Mahadeswara ji.
