Yes. Majidea zanguebarica . I have photographed this tree in K M F
School premises (opp. Theosophical society) on Besant Avenue.
Native to east Africa, the Mgambo Tree is sometimes referred to as
Velvet-seed Tree owing to its unique velvety black seeds, which are
displayed like pearls in the bright red interior of its fruit pods. So
ornamental are its seeds, they are often used in artisan jewelry and
the dried pods in the composition of bouquets .

wonderful picture.... above and by Prashant ji in flowers of india
site...
does anyone in this group have any pictures of artisan
jewellery made from these seeds?
Will it grow in hot moist weather of calcutta?
but before that I would like to know if it has a potential to harm
local flora or become a weedy problem?
Has any one in chennai theosophical society or in Bombay made
a study of such potential?
