Thank you Satish ji. I went through the flora of the Tamilnadu Carnatic to find out the possible species.
According to the description available leaves seem to predominate for identifying species As per the following description - 3-foliate, leaflets ovate;nerves 5 pairs (<7pairs),base oblique, margin entire and apex acuminate.This seem to be *Crateva adansonii.* However amongst the description given for flowers the stamen number is given to be 20-25 which alone does not match for the plant i have photographed. So can someone clarify whether i am right in presuming this to be *Crateva adansonii? *warm wishes geetha On Thu, Jul 2, 2009 at 11:53 AM, satish pardeshi <[email protected]>wrote: > > it is a Crateva species > > On Jul 1, 9:38 pm, Padmanabhan Geetha <[email protected]> wrote: > > Dear Friends > > Please id the tree, belongs perhaps to family Capparaceae . > > > > Location : Inside Vattakotai fort, located on the eastern coast of > > Kanyakumari.
