Hi, Anand ji,
Here are a few remarks in this regard in an earlier Indiantreepix thread:
http://groups.google.co.in/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/763fb68dc4bcdeca/dae7d9ab760e1013?lnk=gst&q=ghost+tree#dae7d9ab760e1013
"I was told by the guide at Kanha National Park that it is so called
because the white bark gives a ghostly appearance in the moonlight.
Deepa. "
>From Pravin ji:
"Hi,
Sterculia Urens is a tree with white bark
during night time it looks brighter on dark background
as a someone is standing like ghost in the forest ,so it is
called Ghost tree.
May I right ?
Thanks. "
"Hi Deepa & Pravin,
Spot on! Thanks for answering the question.
Regards,
Neil. "
