Many thanks Ajinkya ji for the Id. Is there a common name in Marathi for this tree?

I would rather go with Anogeissus pendula or A. Sericea (Mahadhavda in Marathi) which is native and is flowering at some other placea in Pune now.

Ajinkya ji & Satish ji,

Many thanks Satish ji for the Id and the name in Marathi. 

Yesterday I found your previous post "Anogeissus for ID"  https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!search/Anogeissus$20phadke/indiantreepix/DovwgCf3bB8/75FKeOTutYoJ

where Neil ji has mentioned the differences as follows The leaves of A.myrtifolia [A.pendula] are 2-4 by 0.9-1.5 cms and the flowers are in small globose heads 6mm across [whereas in A.serica it is 1-2 cms in diameter].

I went back to the same place and could barely photograph the tip of a branch and take the measurment which is as follows

leaves 4cm X 2cm

flowers green globose head 1cm; full flower 2cm

Attaching pictures of the same

Regards

Hi,   Ajinkya could be right. This could be Anogeissus dhofarica [though I have never seen it]. This does not look like either A.acuminata [A.pendula] or A. sericea [A.rotundifolia] to me.  My photographs of A.acuminata are available in the archives of this group. Please also check these links :   https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!search/Anogeissus$20pendula$20Neil$20Soares/indiantreepix/Nx-25cxo7I4/l_OVaztXDSAJ   https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!search/Anogeissus$20pendula$20Neil$20Soares/indiantreepix/leOO226am98/Zl2tQXHXDI4J    Am sending photographs of A.sericea [A.rotundifolia] for comparison in a separate mail.                           With regards,                           Neil Soares.   --- On Thu, 3/21/13, Bhagyashri <iti...@gmail.com> wrote:

On a second look at the pictures on facebook, this doesn't look similar to Anogeissus sericea. Clear pictures are needed to go closer to ID.

[Bhagyashri]

Satish ji,

Thank you for your feed back. I will see if it is possible to get clear pictures. I forgot to mention yesterday that the leaves were soft to touch, also some leaves appeared to be bigger than 4cms in length but I could not actually measure them as were higher up. Also alternate leaves appeared to differ in size one small and one big. The leaves appeared to have a undulatory margin at places.

Dear Garg Sir,

I think -

1. It is not Anogeissus dhofarica, which is a 12m tall tree, leaf 5.5 cm long or less; flower-head solitary at the end of leafy axillary branches
   
2. It is not Anogeissus sericea, because leaf base is obtuse in Anogeissus sericea
3. It is not Anogeissus pendula, which is a shrub or small tree

Regards,

surajit
