Sir ji Please check and confirm. I would like to mention that the genus *Cercis *is under Subfamily Caesalpinioideae rather than Faboideae. Rather it is the only genus from Caesalpinioideae with zygomorphic flowers. At the same time all genera from Subfamily Faboideae have zygomorphic flowers except Genus *Cadia *which have radially symmetric flowers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabaceae http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadia_%28plant%29 Regards Dr Satish Phadke
