Dear Prasanna ji and ALL: this seems to be mimosa I saw everyday in summer in the midwest... often considered a nuisance, though a beautiful nuisance... since its seeds anywhere from its profusely produced seeds.... I knew this was not my beloved Siris tree from back home in Calcutta since the leaf pattern is different.... This tree, as in your picture and in the USA midwest, very small leaflets,(tiny tiny) almost as small as the delonix regia leaflets.... THIS TREE is called the silk tree from the silky flowers, and botanically *Albizia * julibrissin*...
AND the reason its neither Albizzia odoratissima nor Calliandra surinamensis, is superficially the same: both of these have larger leaflets... almost as big as distal end of a lady's pinky finger.... I am sure there is a botanical key ..... BUT this my non-botanists quick observation... AND PLEASE TELL ME: IS DAPOLI a different name for DAPURI? where there used to be a botanical garden established in about 1837-1838 by Alexander Gibson??? So are DAPOLI and DAPURI SAME or different....
