Thanks Rakesh ji.

The leaves are not variegated, but the bark is !

You may be correct with your thoughts; let us wait for field experts to comment.

Erythrina variegata and E. indica are synonymous. There is however a variety with variegated leaves. I've seen it in cultivation only so far and the flowers are white.

It's difficult to be completely certain of the identity of the images because this kind of striation is sometimes, rarely, seen in E stricta.

Usually the prickles of E. variegata are blackish and fewer in number.

Considering the pictures are from Nagla there is a strong case for E. variegata because this species in the wild is restricted to coastal forests in this area.

It could be one or the other!!! We have to wait until flowering time.

Where exactly is the tree, Dinesh?

regards

Radha

Thanks Radha for your comment.

For time until we find the tree in flower / fruit, I will label it as Erythrina sp.

I am not sure where along the main path, the tree is. I will make it a point to show you the next time we visit Nagla.

Regards.

Dinesh

Many many thanks Gurcharan ji for resurfacing this post.

I will surely update this post with photos of flowers when I find the tree in flowering, plus give the position of the tree along the main trail in Nagla.
