Vinod--

 This appears to indeed be a powderpuff, Calliandra surinamensis.

In my opinion , it is Calliandra haematocephala . Based on the
photograph it is not possible to say whether it s a cross of
Surinamensis. If it is a hybrid the name would be Calliandra
haematocephala x surinamensis nana. This hybrid variety is a dwarf
one.

Hello Mr Garg,

I am sure if this has already been reported.
Noted last week (1 May) two trees (Lodi Road, on way
to Khan market, Delhi) flowering with dark maroon
coloured flowers hanging on very long dangling stalks.
Pradip Krishen's book helped me identify them as the
Sausage Tree. This is the first time I am noticing
this tree/flower.

Regards
Rita
