Date- Dec 28th 2012 Location- Jijamata Udhan aka Ranibagh, Byculla, Mumbai, Maharashtra Habitat- Garden (Ranibagh is the mini-zoo of Mumbai, of colonial origin but now managed by the Municipality). Plant Habit- Tree Height- More than 30 feet. (The tree trunk view in the first picture attached is upward from close to the trunk.) Leaves Type/ Shape/ Size- see picture - im not very good with botanical jargon. Inflorescence - not seen Flowers - not seen. Fruits - not seen. Seeds- about 1 cm diameter and 2.5 to 3 cm length. medium brown. (note the seed clearly visible in the picture of seedling). the seeds lying under the tree which had not germinated were much more cylindrical and of course less dense. Other Information - There were many seedlings growing below the tree as seen in picture attached. not less than 30. these may be very characteristic for identification. I dug and got some seedlings back and one seems to be establishing itself. (My first participation in the eFI.) nadeem waqif. -- --
