Dear Mr Singh

 

Please help in identification of this tree.  I am not a botanist and therefore cannot describe it in detail using botanical terms.  It was a tall tree with many of the flowers at different branches.  Found in Secunderabad. 

 

Thank you

 

Regards

i think this is pongamia pinnata because difference between seedpod millettia pinnata seed pods are very thin and pongamia pinnata seed pod is very big .

Ajinkya ji

Milletia pinnata and Pongamia pinnata refer to the same plant. They are synonyms. The differences you are mentioning are between Pongamia pinnata (syn: Millettia pinnata) with short thick pods and white flowers and Millettia peguensis Ali  (syn: Millettia ovalifolia sensu Kurz pp) with purplish flowers and long flattened hairy pods.

The above plant is Pongamia pinnata (syn: Milletia pinnata). Some authors consider Millettia pinnata as accepted name.

ground...in west bengal, india .... what state did you photograph
