I think Pravin's species is not Cochlospermum but Yellow coloured Bombax ceiba from family Bombacaceae. Excellent and unusual.

Hi Pravin,  Agree with Dr.Phadke. Your photographs are of a yellow-flowered variety of Bombax ceiba. Also Cochlospermum religiosum [Yellow Silk Cotton] is an unarmed tree, where prickles are seen on the stem and branches of the tree in your photographs.                     Regards,                       Neil.  --- On Mon, 1/31/11, Satish Phadke <drsmp...@gmail.com> wrote:

Yes, I also agree with Dr. Phadke. Pravin Ji's specimen is Ceiba pentandra, 

Promila

Hi,  There seems to be some confusion here....   -Pravin's tree is a yellow-flower variety of the Red Silk Cotton tree [Bombax ceiba].   -The White Silk Cotton tree [Ceiba pentandra] or Kapok tree is an exotic, native to the Andamans, Malayasia and tropical America.   -The Yellow Silk Cotton tree [Cochlospermum religiosum] is featured here.                                    Regards,                                   Neil Soares. --- On Mon, 2/7/11, promila chaturvedi <thegardener...@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi,  My apologies. As I had stated earlier Pravin's tree is a yellow-flower variety of Bombax ceiba.                      Regards,                       Neil Soares.               --- On Mon, 2/7/11, Neil Soares <drneil...@yahoo.com> wrote:

Hi,  Apologies again. Was in a hurry. As I had stated earlier Pravin's tree is a yellow-flower variety of Bombax insigne.
