[efloraofindia:34183] Is this Albizia amara?

[Padmini Raghavan]

The seeds were from another tree of the same kind. The leaves looked like those of Parkia biglandulosa from a distance ( but had no glands on inspection.) There are several of these trees blooming now in Chennai.

The pods rattle as if there are seeds within.

Please help with id as I have been watching these trees for years and have only this year managed to catch sight of the flowers. The flowers are inconspicuous and the trees being tall, it was mainly the zoom lens which helped to see them.

Thanks,

Padmini Raghavan.

Hi Padmini ji, the fruits appear, to me, that of Ceasalpinia coriaria (Divi-Divi tree) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Caesalpinia_coriaria.jpg.

 

The flowering specimen belongs to probably Leucaena leucocephala. http://www.fao.org/ag/AGP/agpc/doc/gallery/pictures/leuleu.htm

 

Can you provide the local names of these trees?

With regards

R. Vijayasankar

I think it should be Enterolobium cyclocarpum (Jacq.) Griseb. as per images herein.

Enterolobium contortisiliquum has not been reported from India as per ILDIS
