Dear Dr. Neil, Yes, it is the same tree (the leaves in pictures labelled comp 1 and comp 2). At first look the leaves of both the trees looked very much alike, but on a closer look they looked a bit different, the pattern on the lamina, consistency, even the shape looked different. My only doubt was because P.santalinus is not known to occur in this part of A.P, and alos because the trees on my land are not planted.

The first 3 photographs here are indeed of P.marsupium [Bibla].

The pictures labelled as P.marsupium are form a large tree outside my farm. The pictures labelled as comp are side by side pictures of leaves of the lage tree and the tree that I had posted pictures of earlier as species 3 in my earlier mail. The leaves of the two trees seem diffrent to me, but I'm not sure. Need your help Thanks Best regards, Dr.Pranay Rao Juvvadi, General Secretary, Raptor Conservation Foundation, 1-10-63/4, Chikoti Gardens, Begumpet, Hyderabad-500 016, Andhra Pradesh, India.
