Resurfacing again for ID
Earlier feedback
Pankaj ji...............................................I imagine, this doesnt look like Erythrina to me.
Mani ji.................................................I also think this is not erythrina indica as the leaf shape is not matching with that of erythrina indica.
Mahadeswara ji........................................Certainly not E.indica . Probably while uploading the photographs this could have happened. You may send the correct photographs. Nevertheless, the photograph of the bark is very nice, despite being
some other species.
Mohina ji............................................it is an erythrina tree without leaf, the foliage seen around it belongs to other neighbouring trees. i will try and dig out a photograph of the foliage taken a couple of months ago and send it larer
Deshmukh ji........................................i agree it is not erythrina even branching is not matching.
Rashida ji............................................I think Mohina ji is correct. If you look at the leafless trunk and branches in the first picture, the grayish greenish vertical lines,colour of the bark and some prickles on the bark is indicative of Erythrina sp.
Yazdy ji..............................................The not so smooth surface of the stem and branches creates a doubt in
my mind otherwise, I would think it is Venteak or Lagerstroemia microcarpa. The leaves certainly does not look like Erithrina Indica.
If we had pictures of the seeds, we could be able to make up our mind.
