*Dodonaea viscosa *Had heard about the tree but never seen it. Thanks for sharing. A small tree or a large shrub with those characteristic capsule -red brown on maturing; with two to four wings. Garg ji has posted some nice pictures of these fruits on Wikimedia commons. Family : Sapindaceae Though from Sapindaceae it sseems to have simple alternate leaves which secret some resin. *Similar *winged fruits are observed in *Holoptela integrifolia* and *Pterocarpus marsupium* also. Any other plant with similar fruits????
