Photography is not permitted in the Agri-hort garden, hence I have snapped some of the fallen leaves. Someone has given me a hint that the leaves belong to a tree called the "Mad Tree" , SOMETHING diversifolia. Please help me identify the "SOMETHING" Thanks, Padmini Raghavan. -- Tanay Bose Research Assistant & Teaching Assistant. Department of Botany.
