Hi Dinesh, It is called Kala Siris becuse compared to the other species of this family, it's leaves are very dark and when they dry they assume a black colour. Have this tree on my property at Shahapur, the photographs of which are available at this link : https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!search/Albizia$20odoratissima$20Neil$20Soares/indiantreepix/TgSghSXZJ8I/AoiMluucP0wJ With regards, Neil Soares.
