Thanks Vijayashankar ji. Leaves mostly 2-pinnate- Moringa concanensis Leaves 2-3 (-4) pinnate- Moringa oleifera

Just ot add M.concanensis flowering and fruiting -November to April M.oleifera - February to June. regards Pankaj Oudhia On Thu, Apr 12, 2012 at 12:44 AM, Vijayasankar <vijay.botan...@gmail.com>wrote: > Yes, 'drumstick' ! > > [Pl also check it for Moringa concanensis, though I doubt its occurrence > in Chamba.
