[raghu ananth]

Probably this mail of mine  is lying in my mailbox.  Forwarding again for  ID help. The flower of this plant resemble to that of a white  silk cotton tree in size, shape, color and appearance. But will such a small plant (around 10 feet)  bear flowers.  Could this be a kind of cactii ? .

Affirmative Raghu. This is a species of Bombax possibly Bombax insigne. Have also seen small trees flowering and fruiting at Shahapur.                      Regards,                        Neil Soares.

A reply from another thread (https://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/5778cfa1a4fe6cc2?hl=en#):

"Thanks Neil & Gurucharan ji, 
Yes, they do look like Bombax.
Here is a link from Dinesh Valke's flickr photo album
http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/2237291338/
Even these flowers look alike with that of mine - the flower, stem, thorns, curvy branches.. ..
Dinesh ji, Pls let me know the height of your flowering plant - if you could remember. I am just curious ..

Thanks
Raghu"

[Yazdy Palia]

It is Bombax. Am attaching pictures of a tree that is over 80' as such the thorns are not very visible. The tree in the picture sent by Raghu ji is small and as such the thorns are very clearly visible.
Regards.
Yazdy Palia.

This is a withered flower of B. insigne Wall. The corolla is 15-20 cm
(10-12 cm), number of stamens are 60 (200) and the filaments are
filiform (flattened). The leaflets are obovate (elliptic). Key
features (bracketed for B. ceiba) are not visible in the pictures.
