A reply from Mahadeswara ji:

"You may write to Instituteof Forest Genetics and Tree Breeding Coimbatore  (link  www.icfre.org).  You may also contact the  institute of Traditional systems(?)  (check the correct name)  located on Kotturpuram Road. In fact, the tree is available in Gurunanank's College Campus, Chennnai.    Now, I am not in Chennai.  Otherwise,  I would have arranged."

Dear members,

Greetings and best wishes.
I wish to give few Shami tree or P. Cineraria seedlings to few temples in villages, back here near my village and also near by Hyderabad. Shami is auspicious and especially worshipped at the time of Dasara or Vijaya dasami, and also for ecological and various reasons across the globe. I've tried for procuring the seeds but unsuccessfully.
I've learnt few things on the shami tree characteristics from my friend who is a botanist, and also found out that the shami tree is frequently mistakenly identified with acacia ferrugenia.
I've confirmed the same fact from this group itself few days back. I've also noted that there was a request for seeds of the same in 2010, by one sir, and wish to put same request agin before the group members again.
I've tried to contact the phone numbers of few institutes but didn't work. I've had negative experiences with government institutes.
So, I'd like to have the shami tree seeds even a few from anyone sir/ madam, if you've them in collection.
I promise that I'd not use the seed for any personal gains.

Thank you.

Regards.

Ramakanth Reddy
