Hi, Dinesh ji,
I think the image is of Albizia julibrissin Durazz as the stamen colour is pink as per keys at Flora of China.

Thanks Radha for your validation.
I now remember that Shrikant ji had given me Albizia chinensis as the ID.
I and Prashant were with him during this exploration.

Garg ji, I am revising my notes again.
I suppose Albizia julibrissin is not distributed in India, perhaps only planted for ornamental purpose.

Regards.
Dinesh

Hi, Radha ji,
What are the keys in Flora of Maharashtra ?
Does it say pink stamens in A.chinensis ?

Two species are really close and can be easily confused as can be seen from FoC illustration.

Dear Garg ji,

At the moment the Flora books are not available to me. As far as I know A. julibrissin does not have distribution in this area in the wild. All my collections of the large tree with large stipules have stamens whitish at the base and changing to pink. This tree is very familiar from forests in the Western Ghats.
To my knowledge A. julibrissin is a smaller tree, often cultivated, whose stamens are a much brighter pink.
I'm sorry at present I have only fieldwork to go on and not the documentation you require.

regards
Radha
