Yes Bhagyashri ji ... your ID is correct.
*Acacia auriculiformis* and *Acacia mangium* are cultivated in our country,
and perhaps few of their hybrids.
But the latter and their hybrids differ in their leaves being broader at
the center, rather than the crescent shaped leaf (read: phyllode) seen in *A.
auriculiformis*.
Friends, please correct me if wrong.

 Dear Experts

 Please help with identifying this tree. It looks similar to pictures of
 'Indian Coral tree' I have seen in some books.

 Photographed at Kalyan Nagar, Bangalore on Dec 11, 2011.

 Dear All

 Taking cue from Ushadi's suggestion of starting a series of
 illustrations, am initiating this one. Would be sharing illustrations from
 my sketchbook that I have been maintaining for last 10 years.
 There has been a transition in quality from my first illustration to
 this date.
 The one I shared last *Cerbera manghas* was the latest one.
 As mentioned by Mr. Shrikant Ingalhalikar in his last email, am
 currently working on illustrations for the book ' Costal Plants of Western
 India' to be authored by him. To maintain the exclusivity of the book,
 those sketches wont be a part of this series.

 It is a great opportunity for me to share my work and also retrospect.
 There are few issues with my scanner. The scan quality may not be very
 clear at times. Please excuse me for this.

 There could be illustrations that are not upto the mark as I was
 fumbling in my initial years. Still am including them in this series.

 best regards

 Adittya V. Dharap

Thank you Dinesh ji for validation of Id and the feedback

2012/1/7 Dinesh Valke dinesh.va...@gmail.com

 Yes Bhagyashri ji ... your ID is correct.
 *Acacia auriculiformis* and *Acacia mangium* are cultivated in our
 country, and perhaps few of their hybrids.
 But the latter and their hybrids differ in their leaves being broader at
 the center, rather than the crescent shaped leaf (read: phyllode) seen in
 *A. auriculiformis*.
 Friends, please correct me if wrong.

Many thanks Neil ji, Gurcharan ji, Neha ji and H S ji for the Id. I am so
happy today. I wanted to know the name of this tree for a very long time. I
have known about Teak wood(Saagwan) for practically all my life but never

 I have this plant in 4 pots for many years and none ever flowered, in
 fact I thought it never flowers. Due to some plumbing work in my society 
 in
 Jan 2011 which went on for quite sometime I had to unwillingly shift the
 pots of this plant to an area in my garden without any shade . One day in
 April I suddenly saw this woody looking whorled spike with 2 violet blue
 petal like flowers. It gave me immense joy as I never knew that this 
 plant
 flowers and that too has such an unusual and beautiful wavy spike. It 
 was a
 moment I will never forget. Gradually all the flowers bloomed in the 
 spike.

Thank you Prashant ji,Prasad ji and Balkar ji for the appreciation. Its a
saying that 'Patience reaps fruits and success for me it was flowers.
Actually it was a surprise gift by God rather than patience reaping flowers
as I had thought it was just a foliage plant and does not flower. I used to
try to cover the pots with umbrellas to prevent the plants getting scorched
in the sun and prayed that the plumbing work ends soon.

 April 2011
 Maranta zebrina
 Family Marantaceae
 I have this plant in 4 pots for many years and none ever flowered,
 in fact I thought it never flowers. Due to some plumbing work in my 
 society
 in Jan 2011 which went on for quite sometime I had to unwillingly shift 
 the
 pots of this plant to an area in my garden without any shade . One day 
 in
 April I suddenly saw this woody looking whorled spike with 2 violet blue
 petal like flowers. It gave me immense joy as I never knew that this 
 plant
 flowers and that too has such an unusual and beautiful wavy spike. It 
 was a
 moment I will never forget. Gradually all the flowers bloomed in the 
 spike.

its common in moist deciduous forest,, here in Maharashtra and Gujarat its
quite common..

threaten status can be decided on the field observations only.. that may
keep changing after every few decades..

for eg. after a field survey if someone found only a single tree in wild,
suppose in 100 sq.km area, surely its rare for that area!!

 Dear All

 Taking cue from Ushadi's suggestion of starting a series of
 illustrations, am initiating this one. Would be sharing illustrations from
 my sketchbook that I have been maintaining for last 10 years.
 There has been a transition in quality from my first illustration to
 this date.
 The one I shared last *Cerbera manghas* was the latest one.
 As mentioned by Mr. Shrikant Ingalhalikar in his last email, am
 currently working on illustrations for the book ' Costal Plants of Western
 India' to be authored by him. To maintain the exclusivity of the book,
 those sketches wont be a part of this series.

 It is a great opportunity for me to share my work and also retrospect.
 There are few issues with my scanner. The scan quality may not be very
 clear at times. Please excuse me for this.

 There could be illustrations that are not upto the mark as I was

 It was so huge...I was not carrying my zoom lens so could not get

Very nice. Yet to come across this species.
Quite unusual leaf pattern as against most Mimosaceae members.

Dear Nitesh ji
Bauhinia will come under Fabaceae-Subfamily : Caesalpinioideae.
Regarding the species name ...the images are too small to count the number
of stamens. If they are 3 it is most likely Bauhinia purpurea. If 5 It
would be B.blakeana

I don't know how wild it is but if planted in gardens it can grow very
rapidly and spreads around a vast areas. Often it can grow in open spaces
as garden escape too.
