Dear All,
I have been able to identify this tree and its Saraca Indica ( Seeta Ashok).
Is it correct?

Thank you.

Anita ji

This can confuse many of us. When I saw these photographs for the first time, my first reaction was also Saraca indica from the colour of flowers (although they are darker here) and more distinctly the light coloured hanging young leaves, so characteristic of Saraca also. When I saw it identified as Brownea coccinea I immediately went to the web and also saw photograph at Flowersofindia (the first website I visit for confirming any doubtful plant) and was confident about Tanay's identification. Since the two plants look so similar I could detect two main features which can help in identifying the two: Saraca has much longer exserted stamens (not that long in Brownea) and leaves are even pinnate (odd pinniate with terminal leaflet in Brownea).

This one is indeed Brownea coccinea.

Hello,

The plant in picture is indeed Brownea coccinea without any doubt. The
inflorescence is distinctly that of Brownea.

Thank you very much to correct me.
As pointed out the flowers are different.
