I'm impressed with a round globular shape of the fruit pod

other silk cotton pods are elongated

this one is almost round if not only slightly oblong with ashort nec

You must have had a spectacular series of views on this trek judging from your cases today

Yes. A rich flora and bio-diversity one comes across in what otherwise look like barren hills! I've counted bamboo, yellow and red silk cotton, bonfire tree, cactus, temple trees and a whole load of ficus and other unidentified species that grow on these hills. Quite thoroughly enjoyable,

Very interesting and useful information.   Can you post pictures  of other plants you photographed.   Can you also please  provide information on the  location so that it could be helpful to those who are interested  (like me residing  in Mysore ) to visit the place..

Bonfire tree is another name for firmiania colorata. Temple tree is common name for the plumeria rubra I think - with yellow or white flowers similar to Champa. I took some pics that I will add to on my subsequent trips

Yes I will search my archive and post those I find. These locations are to be found within a radius of about 60-80 km from Bangalore in all directions - Kanakpura and Mysore road to the south, toward Kolar in the east and Tumkur to the north or Magadi to west etc

I am part of an avid trek club which takes me to all these obscure and beautiful places!
