Buch.-Ham. ex Voigt. on account of whitish flaky bark (AS per t. Cooke's flora) but the BSI flora has merged this with A. catechu which has dark coloured bark. Unless there are further changes this would be A. catechu (L.f.) Willd. Rgds Shrikant Ingalhalikar" 2009/11/21 J.M. Garg <[email protected]> Forwarding again for Id assistance pl. Earlier relevant feedback: “ It could be Acacia suma [Acacia polycantha]. Have seen it in the Borivali National Park in Bombay.
