PLANT FOR ID 25 SMP30 DEC2008

I think this is Sapindus mukorossi.
I tried to to look for its flowers but the only thing I could capture was this inflorescence with inconspicuous flowers and the fruits. One can observe compound pinnate leaves with 4 leaflets.(All leaves were like that)Would appreciate comments. Earlier in Jun 2007 Mr Garg has posted some pictures of Sapindus mukorossi.

Hello all,

 

I believe this must be the South Indian Soapnut or trijugate-leaved soapnut (Sapindus trifoliatus ... Sapindus laurifolius considered by many as its synonym).

 

I have few photographs of S. trifoiatus found at Tungareshwar Wildlife Sanctuary on Dec 6, 2008.

ID applies also to other discussed link:

Hi,

This is a nice site. I always had a confusion of how latin names are
pronounced. Came across this site that helps on the problem. Click
below...

http://zipcodezoo.com/

It has an index where you can also hear a latin name to check how it
is pronounced. This feature can be found when you select a category
e.g. Animal.
Then click Load 'Common Names'. Choose your alphabet. e.g. I want to
see details of Tiger. So I chose 'T'. Since this works like a
directory, I chose 'Tic-Tac-Toe Barb - Tigermurne' to see details of
Tiger.

Below is what I get.

Found it very useful. Hope it helps you too.

Regards and a Happy New Year!

I spotted another tree in Kothrud Pune. Looks very similar to Sapindus shown above but leaves somewhat different in shape(But pinnete 4 leaflets)and the fruits completely different They are round berry like in bunches.

Almost certainly some sort of Sapindaceae-- perhaps Alectryon sp or another Sapindus sp.?? Regards-- Ken Greby Palmetto Bay, Florida USA --- On Fri, 1/2/09, satish phadke <phadke...@gmail.com> wrote:

I think it should be Sapindus emarginatus as per details and keys herein.
