Dear Friend,
Forwarding the image of a plant KARNIKARA( as mentioned by Valmiki in his Ramayan ).In most of the botanical literature the scientific name of KARNIKAR is Pterospermum acerifolium.In Ayurvedic literature( Shibkali Bhattacharya )there is another candidate for KARNIKARA,and this one is Cassia fistula.Valmiki's description of KARNIKAR fits with Cassia fistula.In case of doubt please refer Kiskindha Kand(pratham sarg)Shlka no 21.
Regards
