Hi, Dinesh ji & Devendra ji & other experts,
I think there is some confusion about the correct name of Crataeva species
found in India.
"Trees of Delhi states Crataeva *nurvala*, *Crataeva religiosa* & *Crataeva
magna* to be an invalid Syn. of *Crateva
adansonii* (i.e not valid synonyms, but are commonly used (incorrectly)).
Trees of Delhi also states (about Crateva adansonii, subsp. *odora*) that
new leaves in April, canopy renewed in May. Flowers with new leaves, peaking
by late April. "
As per earlier thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/ce1dce961771b5a8/dc9cdac0180a726e?lnk=gst&q=Crateva+adansonii
"*Crataeva nurvala* [*C.religosa*] is an African species that is not
[naturally] found in India. The common species of Sacred Barna [locally
called Vaivarun] found in and around Bombay [including the one photographed
by Kiran at Kanheri] is C.tapia. It is a small tree with a much-branched
head and greenish-white flowers. The other species of Crataeva found in
Maharashtra is *C.adansonii* [*C.tapia ssp.odora*] which is common around
Savantwadi and is seen mainly on riverbeds and ocassionally on hilly
slopes.It is a larger tree [upto 10mts tall] with a dense crown and white
flowers.
With regards,
Neil Soares. "
*I think we have to have more discussion as to the correct name of this &
other species commonly found in India. Experts may help in the matter.*
