Dear friends,
Gliricidia sepium (syn: Gliricidia maculata) ... native of Mexico, Central America, South America.

Vasant ji mentioned of lemon green coloured flowers ... that tempted me to put the white coloured.


Have made slight change in format ... made it narrow and long.
In this manner, hoping that the text-based email will find increased clarity.
